Train Schedule Changes

Going to the TFC game on August 13?

On Saturday, August 13, Lakeshore East and West train schedules will be adjusted before the Toronto FC game to ease crowding and improve customer flow at Exhibition GO.

On the Lakeshore West line:

• All westbound trips from Union Station from 5:15 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. will depart five minutes earlier than regularly scheduled.
• The 4:13 p.m., 5:13 p.m. and 6:13 p.m. eastbound trips from West Harbour GO will depart ten minutes later, at 4:23 p.m., 5:23 p.m. and 6:23 p.m. and arrive at Exhibition GO and Union Station 15 minutes later than regularly scheduled.
• The 4:55 p.m. and 5:55 p.m. trips from Aldershot GO will depart ten minutes later, at 5:05 p.m., 6:05 p.m. and 7:05 p.m. and arrive at Exhibition GO and Union Station 15 minutes later than regularly scheduled.
• Eastbound trains will also make longer than normal scheduled stops at the most popular stations to provide customers extra time to board.

Pay before you board with these easy options:

• If you don’t have a PRESTO card, you can avoid line-ups at station ticket vending machines and buy a GO e-ticket in advance online or take advantage of one of the GO Transit Weekend Pass options. Be sure to activate your e-ticket five minutes before you board.
• If you’re a mobile user – whether Android or iPhone – you can instantly load funds and passes onto your PRESTO card. Remember to tap on and off at the station.

Things to know for Exhibition GO:

• All trains arriving before the game will use the south platform (Track 4) at Exhibition GO.
• Following the game, trains will depart from both the north and south platforms, so check departure boards before you head to the platform.
• Please give yourself some extra time. We expect our trains and the areas around Exhibition GO to be busy.
• Pay attention to signage, announcements and directions from staff.
• On the train platform, spread out as best you can and avoid standing at the tops of stairwells. Stand well back of the yellow line and don’t use the yellow line to pass around crowded areas of the platform.
• Extra GO Transit staff will be on hand for everyone’s safety and to validate fare payment.
• If you’re travelling to or from Liberty Village, you can take advantage of a new entrance building on the north side of the station at Atlantic Avenue.
