Not sure if this belongs in this thread or the transit thread, but here's an article I came across about the UP (Union_Pearson Express) under construction at Toronto Pearson International Airport:

Quote:
Metrolinx's UP Express Pearson Station now 75% complete




Metrolinx's construction team has been at work for six months now on the Toronto Pearson International Airport Station for the Union Pearson Express at Terminal 1. The station, sitting between the tracks of the temporarily shut LINK train, is now 75% complete, and the tracks for the LINK train will be turned back over to the Greater Toronto Airports Authority

...

The new train meanwhile, now branded UP Express, will connect travellers to and from the airport with Union Station in Downtown Toronto, stopping twice along the way at Weston GO station at Lawrence Avenue, and at Dundas West subway station at Bloor Street.

...

The Union Pearson Express station will open adjacent to the LINK station at Terminal 1, better facilitating passenger transit throughout Pearson Airport. Travellers will be able to head straight into Terminal 1, or hop the LINK train for the short ride over to Terminal 3.

...

The UP Express is on schedule for service to begin in 2015, prior to the summertime Pan and Parapan Am Games. UP Express is one component of Metrolinx's transportation plan called The Big Move, set to improve travel throughout the GTHA.
