The commuter train needs to be time optimized to maximize ridership and there will be the need to be a place to store a train (or two) overnight in Alexandria. If we add stations, say in Vars and Maxville and maybe even Carlsbad Springs, the speed of service will be enhanced if the line were to be electrified, a potential dream of HFR.

Limoges is the most logical place for an infill stop as it has the largest population of the unserved communities along the line and its probably mostly Ottawa commuters living there.
