They are missing Metrolinx as a host railroad there
Travel time is better than I expected. It's not too far off driving actually, which is generally 8-9 hours. Seems to be giving only about 20-30 minutes to clear the border too, which is significantly faster than what the Maple Leaf did prior to the pandemic, which IIRC took about 2 hours at border control. Hopefully those faster travel times can be translated to the Maple Leaf as well which would result in some much better travel times there too. If they were really smart border control would board the train in Niagara Falls or Detroit and check passengers as they moved to Dearborn / Buffalo and had a van to ship anyone denied entry back to the border once they got to the next stop, in order to avoid slowing the train down.. but alas.
Lots of room for improvements on those travel times too, especially on the Canadian side. The Canadian Feds seem to be indicating an intent to sink a good chunk of money into VIA, hopefully that can include some speed upgrades down to Windsor. There is no reason another 30-45 minutes can't be easily shaved off the Canadian side trip time, which currently takes 4:15 to clear about 230 miles.
Perhaps the most interesting part of this proposed service is that they plan to stop in Detroit at the old Michigan Central Station..
