More GO train service coming to Hamilton

New connecting track speeds up commutes, gives customers more options.

May 5 - Starting on May 17, GO service to the Niagara area is expanding, with all existing Niagara trains on the Lakeshore West GO Line stopping at West Harbour GO Station.

West Harbour customers will have four more train trips to choose from on weekdays and six new trips on weekends.

Thanks to the new connecting track, trains can now travel directly through the station resulting in a smoother and more efficient journey.

Benefits for Hamilton-Niagara transit riders

On May 17, all Niagara trains will stop at West Harbour GO seven days a week, offering better access and convenience for riders. This means new direct train service between Hamilton, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls on weekends.

Additionally, Niagara trips that previously stopped at West Harbour will see a time savings of up to eight minutes in each direction.

The new track, originally planned to be finished this fall, was completed ahead of schedule, bringing more service to the Hamilton-Niagara Region sooner than anticipated.

It’s recommended that GO Transit customers check their schedule in advance and plan their trip ahead of time.
