Fair enough.
To Metrolinx I say this: 80 km/hr is not possible on that line without either massive destruction of conservation land to straighten the tracks, reinstating previously removed tracks in residential Don Mills, or tunneling. All options would either cost billions of dollars, or be impossible due to NIMBYism. 80 km/hr? Fat chance.
Through the valley, yes it's unlikely.
If it took the connecting track to Leaside station then those speeds are possible. I'll look into those distances and report back with some estimates. Normally I would say no due to the proximity to houses on the connecting track right-of-way, but I'm in a blockbusting mood today.
