That's a very strange measurement. You're picking a segment of the line on the outskirts and measuring speed. This is like arguing that the Confederation Line will go fast between Bayshore and Moodie. And then extrapolating that to imply that there will be a high average speed all the way to Rideau.
I sincerely wish you wouldn't resort to such intellectual dishonesty. It's disappointing because usually you have great posts on these forums.
Pickering and Oshawa are on the Lakeshore East GO line. The average operating speed of that line is nowhere close to 75 kph. And most riders from Oshawa are not bound for Pickering, but for Union station.
