GO Expansion
More trains, less waiting
With the GO Transit service area – which includes the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Region (GTHA), Kitchener-Waterloo, Barrie and Niagara – expected to grow to 15 million people by 2051, expanding GO service is necessary to help alleviate congestion and offer customers an option that will be more desirable than driving.
Enter GO Expansion – the program that will bring faster, more frequent train service by delivering new transit infrastructure and operational plans that will reduce journey times, add capacity and further improve on-time performance and customer satisfaction.
The goal is to create a network with the capacity to deliver service every 15 minutes or better, all-day, in both directions on core routes like the Lakeshore East (to Oshawa GO), Lakeshore West (to Burlington GO), Kitchener (to Bramalea GO), Stouffville (to Unionville GO) and Barrie (to Aurora GO) lines.
GO Expansion Projects
BARRIE LINE GO EXPANSION: Adding an extra track between Union Station and Aurora GO is a key part of our GO Expansion plans on the Barrie Line.
KITCHENER LINE GO EXPANSION: Metrolinx is working to deliver more rail service to communities along the Kitchener Line as quickly as we can.
LAKESHORE EAST LINE GO EXPANSION: The Lakeshore East rail corridor serves many communities in Toronto and is the second busiest GO rail line.
Other Projects
MILTON LINE: More transit choices for Milton, Mississauga, Etobicoke, central Toronto, and neighbouring communities.
RICHMOND HILL LINE: We’re committed to getting you there better, faster, easier on the Richmond Hill line
UNION STATION: A new Union Station is coming. A station that is more accessible and easier to navigate with wider platforms and less crowding.
