Case Study 6. October 2014 Union Pearson Express' The Route Connecting Toronto Pearson International Airport with Union Station in downtown Toronto in a relaxing 25 minutes, the Union Pearson Express is set to simplify how Canada's busiest airport is linked to its largest city. With only two brief stops at the Bloor and Weston GO Stations, the Union Pearson Express will be the departure every 15 minutes. The service will begin running in spring 2015. Stations The Union Pearson Express will serve four key stations: Terminal 1 at Toronto Pearson, Union Station in downtown Toronto (see photo to the right taken from CN Tower in May 2014), and the Bloor and Weston GO Stations. At Bloor, Weston and Union, travellers can connect to other regional destinations easily and quickly. The stations are being designed to create a relaxing atmosphere with convenient amenities to serve guests during their brief wait for the next train. New Line The Union Pearson Express will connect directly to Terminal 1 at Toronto Pearson. A new rail connection will branch off from the GO Kitchener Rail Corridor and travel three kilometres to the airport. The new connecting line, or "spur," is currently under construction by AirLINX Transit Partners Inc. and is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2014.
