Starting May 17, all Niagara Falls train trains on the Lakeshore West line will now stop at West Harbour GO, giving customers in the Hamilton, St. Catharines and Niagara region more travel options, including new service on weekends.

• West Harbour GO will have four more trains on weekdays and six new trains on weekends.
• Weekday Niagara Falls trains that stop at West Harbour GO will be up to eight minutes faster.

West Harbour GO improvements

The newly completed connecting track at West Harbour GO station enables this expanded service. Previously, West Harbour GO was not connected to the main track west of the station, forcing Niagara Falls trains to reverse into and out of the station. Trains will be able to travel directly through the station without needing to reverse, resulting in smoother operations and a more efficient journey.
