reduced train speeds on GO lines


We use this space to give you basic information about reduced train speeds on GO lines caused by construction or track work. We do our best to keep this information current, but please keep in mind that our ability to maintain this page may sometimes be limited.

Please check the Union Station train and bus departure status page for up-to-date information.

Here is the information we have to report at 06:17, April 30, 2008:
ONGOING TRACK MAINTENANCE:
Regular track maintenance is necessary to keep our trains running safely and on schedule.  
GO Transit works with the railways to do repair work at various spots across the system.  
Replacing track ties, repairing sections of track, and general maintenance are just a few 
examples of the upkeep required to keep our trains running on time, everytime. While 
most of the work is done on the weekends and at night, some trains may travel slower 
through certain areas.  If your train is moving slowly and you don’t see any work being 
done on the tracks, it’s because the area around new track work must settle before trains 
can resume their regular speeds.  While these slower speeds continue for a short while 
following any repairs, the overall impact on our schedules is minimal.
