I could see GO trains come to London, but not buses.

As for the rail network in the area, I've been a long proponent of getting service back up and running from London to St. Thomas. That way you can live there and commute downtown (although working from home has diminished this need). A further extension to Port Stanley could generate tourist trips to the beach.

London's just too far away from the Golden Horseshoe to qualify for anything more than a spur line from Metrolinx. Kitchener is in the Greater Golden Horseshoe and thus qualifies for some more infrastructure.

London's location is more of a 'hub' city like Toronto. Kitchener is more like St Thomas being a commuting destination. In fact if you reduce the populations by a factor of ~10, this sorta makes sense. Just a mini version lol
