Okay, so first Confederation to Burlington Go is a 14 minute drive. Secondly, the morning train from Burlington Go that my girlfriend takes into Toronto leaves at 8:09AM, and at that time, the drive from Confederation Go to Burlington Go is 18-35 minutes depending on traffic.

I do hope they can improve the speed as much as they are saying, but from what I understand, I am not sure how the time savings they are advertising are going to happen. Electrification alone will not bring the time savings advertised.
