Metrolinx Board recommends phased electrification plan
January 26, 2011 – The Metrolinx Board of Directors today approved the staff
recommendation to begin electrification of the Lakeshore and Georgetown GO
Transit rail corridors, with the new Air Rail Link (ARL) as the first phase.
The year-long study recently completed by Metrolinx revealed important
transportation benefits associated with electrification, and these benefits
would increase over time and as service levels increase. These benefits include
shorter travel times for riders and lower operating costs.
The Air Rail Link between Union Station and Pearson International Airport was
recommended as the first phase as Metrolinx already owns the corridor, it would
not require the electrification of the Union Station train shed area, and it
will operate as a distinct service from GO Transit.
The final report, appendices and staff recommendation is available online at
