UPE took a lot of its original branding influence from Oslo’s Flytoget, a premium priced high speed nonstop link to Oslo’s airport. Despite the usual overruns and political upheavals during its construction, it is immensely popular...even though it is only a few minutes faster than the cheaper and very attractive EMU commuter service that also serves the airport . So arguably there is precedent for attempting to maintain some sort of cachet to UP. All the same, I wouldn’t bother, especially if UP is forced to be a stopping service and has no actual value added to justify the extra fuss. The question is why GO wouldn’t attempt to make RER equal UPE’s standards.... it’s not that far behind anyways.
