I note the use of the word “slows” entering Stratford. I would think the stretch between Stratford and London has to be amongst the lowest passenger speeds in a commuter (i.e. not long distance train) area in all of North America.
True, but 10mph is slower than the 25mph track speed across farm country.
Beautiful composition.
That billboard needs to disappear though.
Very nice Jacob, and now a historical scene. Wonder what the 30 passengers that were waiting to board do now that their train is no more ? Do they have to drive to Kitchener ?
I think you may be right, John. There are a lot more transit options in the region than I expected, though the bus between Stratford and Kitchener arrives late in the morning as it originates in Kitchener. Passengers could take the mid-day trains into Toronto, but cannot meet the morning trains using this service.
Perth County Connect has four bus routes:
Route 1: Kitchener – Waterloo – St. Jacob’s – Elmira – Wallenstein – Dorking – Listowel
Route 2: Kitchener – Waterloo – New Hamburg – Shakespeare – Stratford – St. Marys
Route 3: London – St. Marys – Stratford
Rural Route: Stratford – Gads Hill – Brunner – Milverton – Newton – Millbank – Listowel – Atwood – Monkton – Mitchell
Their 5th route (Stratford – St. Marys – Kirkton – Mitchell – Sebringville) was cut in 2023 due to low ridership.
