Also, why do trains move so slow from West Harbour to Bayview? Any plans to increase the speed limit. Currently it takes 12 minutes to get from West Harbour to Aldershot, which really should be more like 5.

Ideally there'd be
two dedicated tracks for GO service. With a work-around through the rail yard.
I don't know why they're slow, but it may be due in part to the many switches? And the freight traffic that takes precedence?
CN would probably want Metrolinx to build a grade-separated "fly over" to increase speed and capacity of commuter service. I seem to recall something about that idea, but the cost was enormous and prohibitive (at least at the time).
