Train #641 is being introduced starting May 27th, 2024, which departs Ottawa at 4:15, Kingston at 6:15, arriving in Toronto at 8:48am, which would be useful for anyone trying to get into a Toronto downtown office at 9am.

    I too want HSR, but it’s unfair to compare the time of an express train to one making multiple stops.

      I thought it is only making one stop in Kingston. That’s 127km for the first leg and about 260km for the second.
