Mactier Subdivision Trains - 

100 series trains mostly operate west of Vaughan, but their power may run light to/from Agincourt. 

Westward timings are predictable, with 101 hitting the road well before sunrise, 103 following around dawn, and 105/109/115 hitting the road by early afternoon. Eastward timings are much more variable, as trains lose time across the prairies and northern Ontario.

Hamilton Subdivision Trains 

Train numbering on the Hamilton Sub is goofy, since the prevailing direction of the train rather than the specific direction determines the numbers. 

Trains originating Toronto for Buffalo and points east generally have even numbers, but trains 245 and 247 (which run in the same direction from Toronto to Buffalo) are odd-numbered as they run westward from Buffalo to Chicago.

Trains from London to Hamilton follow the normal convention - even numbered eastwards/southwards, odd numbered northwards/westwards.
