GO Train seen in this undated file image.

Barrie GO Train service will be suspended for critical track work on Saturday and Sunday.

During this time, GO buses will replace train service only between Highway 407 Bus Terminal and Allandale Waterfront GO station.

People travelling to Union Station are encouraged to use the TTC near Highway 407 Bus Terminal or Downsview Park GO.

Northbound and southbound rail trips will travel slower on the Barrie line on Monday and Tuesday due to this construction work. Some trip times will be adjusted - please check GO Transit for updated schedules before travelling.

Metrolinx is performing track work to widen the Barrie Line corridor and enable the future installation of a second track. Improvements on the Barrie line will transform GO rail from rush-hour service to a two-way, all-day rapid transit line.

In addition, there will be no GO Train service at King City GO on Monday due to critical rail and platform construction. For customers travelling to or from King City GO station, please connect with local transit at Aurora GO or Rutherford GO.

Regular service will resume on Wednesday.
