We strive to provide the safest and fastest travel options during service adjustments. We are using Bramalea GO station instead of Union Station Bus Terminal for these service adjustments to connect our shuttle buses to train service. This decision was made based on several factors, including anticipated traffic and operational considerations. Our goal is to offer the best possible options to help you reach your destination safely and on time. Thank you for your patience as we work to improve overall service on your line.
Train service will resume Monday, Dec. 15.

What type of construction work is happening?
Metrolinx is transforming GO Transit to bring more frequent two-way, all-day service to the Kitchener line seven days a week. We’re also preparing for construction on the new St. Clair-Old Weston station. This planned track work requires us to temporarily suspend service on the Kitchener line so that construction can be performed safely.
