If it made stops it would follow the same timetable as the train an hour later. But then it would arrive at Union only 4 minutes before its next departure on the Kitchener line, so they presumably want to run it express to give it more time at Union and minimize the chance of delays.
So basically I think they would/should run it non-stop from Unionville to Union even though in most cases the time they save skipping Agincourt and Milliken will be lost sitting in the siding just north of Kennedy. The schedule could be three minutes shorter than the train an hour later since it would consistently save that much by skipping Kennedy and already being at the south end of the passing track at Kennedy at 16:48 when the northbound train departs. (The train could have stopped at Kennedy if Metrolinx had created a small project to extend the double track through Kennedy station which already has 2 platforms, one of which is abandoned).
On a similar note there is presumably a northbound counter-peak deadhead trip that departs Union around 07:10, passes a southbound train north of Kennedy at 07:29 and arrives at Unionville at 07:45 meeting another southbound train there.
