London GO Train Service

We Are Increasing Access to Southwestern Ontario

GO Transit is expanding! We are running a pilot to expand GO train service to London, St. Marys, and Stratford. This new weekday service extends beyond the Kitchener GO line and uses the existing VIA train stations as the new stops.

We’re excited to create more connections between London, Kitchener/Waterloo, Guelph, and all the way to Toronto. Whether you’re travelling for business meetings, school, or a fun trip, we can help get you where you need to go along our route between London to Toronto!
