It is indeed cheaper but it is not more frequent and its 30 minutes longer between Union and London through Kitchener and its twice as long than the front way through Brantford. So if you compare the actual number of trains between Union and London VIA has GO beat 5-1.
There is one GO train per day that departs at 1619 and its 30$ one way and takes 4hours. 87 leaves at 1740 costs 60$ and arrives 50 minutes after the GO train for a total trip time of 3h29. I take it youve never taken a GO train before? Theres a reason why that train is empty between Kitchener and London. Nobody wants to spend 4 hours on a commuter train.
