The Union Pearson Express opens to the public on June 6, but the service is pretty much ready to go into operation today, which allowed us to get peek at what the new lounge and terminal look like as well as the trains themselves.

While the UP Express doesn't boast the most attractive colour scheme, the interior of the trains is an example of practical comfort. This isn't luxury travel, but it's comfortable and practical in the way that you'd expect of an air-rail link. The understated terminal at Union Station wins points for its modern and minimal design that will likely age well.
