That is exactly what I said.

When taking the train to Montreal, most of the time I found it faster to go to Tremblay, though I do remember once being in a cab on the Queensway in a snow storm, trying to catch the train, and making a split decision at the 416 exchange to go to Fallowfield (I kept Google mapping both options). I was certainly glad that was an option as I am not sure I would have made it to Tremblay on time.
The other factor is not all trains from Montreal continue to Fallowfield, so if you are driving yourself, you are are limiting your options for your return trip if you park at Fallowfield.
