No GO trains on Kitchener Line this weekend

Anyone planning to hop on a GO train along the Kitchener Line this weekend may need to rethink their plans.

Metrolinx, the company that operates GO Transit, announced its trains will not be running on the Kitchener Line on Nov. 8 or Nov. 9 due to construction. Instead, GO buses will be running between Mount Pleasant, Brampton and Bramalea GO stations and the Highway 407 Bus Terminal. From there, users can hop on a TTC subway train to get to Union Station.

There will also be no GO Transit service at Bloor and Weston GO stations or GO trains at Malton GO.

The disruption comes as GO works on track construction and maintenance that will enable two-way, all-day service.

Last month, the province announced more GO train trips were coming for Waterloo Region riders after they reached an agreement-in-principle with CN Rail to purchase the land necessary to build additional tracks to separate freight and passenger service.

Starting on Nov. 23, four existing weekend trips that previously stopped at Mount Pleasant GO will continue to the Kitchener station, while a weekday trip that stopped at Guelph Central GO will instead carry on to Kitchener.

Although officials said the tracks will eventually be used for two-way, all day GO service on the Kitchener Line, there is still no definitive timeline for when that might happen.
