Train Schedule Changes

We know that the changes we recently made to our schedules didn’t work for our customers. We take those concerns seriously and that’s why starting Wednesday, February 13, we’re re-introducing a 4:50 p.m. express trip that will run express from Union to Bramalea GO Station, and then make all stops to Kitchener. To put this additional train into service, we needed to make changes to some other afternoon trips, which also take effect on February 13.

These changes to our schedules may affect your daily work, school or family and childcare commitments. Please be sure to check the schedules for the most up-to-date information to help you plan.
