The idea is that if you are going from Toronto to Ottawa or Montreal, you use the new corridor. The old corridor is left for local service to Trenton, Cobourg, Kingston, Belleville, etc. as it's frequently disturbed by freight service and is unreliable.

Maybe. But I am having a difficult time imagining passengers from Windsor or London wishing to ride all the way to Drummondville being asked to transfer twice, once in Toronto to board a new electric powered train and a second time in Montreal to board a diesel powered train. Why not just ride the diesel powered train all the way on the existing corridor.
