Metrolinx and its contractors continue upgrading GO Transit’s Barrie line as part of the GO Expansion Program.

Due to track work near Bradford GO Station this weekend, Saturday, July 6 and Sunday, July 7, GO Transit trains must move more slowly in that area to give the tracks time to settle.

This means a track slow order is in affect Monday, July 8 through to end of service Tuesday, July 9:

• GO is adjusting the schedules for morning southbound trains to Union Station. They leave Bradford three minutes later than usually.
• The 1:08 and 9:10 p.m. trains from Allandale Waterfront GO Station start their trips two minutes earlier than usually.
• The trains that usually start in Aurora GO Station at 11:55 a.m. and 3:04 p.m. start, instead, in Maple GO Station. Buses replace these trains between Aurora and Maple, stopping to pick up passengers near King City GO Station.
• Some northbound trains from Union start as much as two minutes earlier or later than usually.
• Trains arrive two minutes later than usually at Aurora GO and continue two minutes later than usually at each station further northward to Allandale.
• The trains that usually start in Union at 12:54 and 8:59 p.m. end in Maple, instead of Aurora. Buses replace these trains between Maple and Aurora, stopping to drop off passengers in King City.

Metrolinx and GO plan to accommodate more passengers and increase service along the Barrie line, as part of their GO Expansion Program (formerly “regional express rail”).
