Metrolinx and its contractors continue upgrading GO Transit’s Barrie line as part of the GO Expansion Program.
GO Transit is cancelling train service to and from King City GO Station until 1:34 p.m. Tuesday, October 15 to accommodate rail and platform construction. Southbound train service resumes at 2:11 p.m., and northbound train service resumes at 2:39 p.m.
Metrolinx is improving the rail platform and starting to install a second track for future 15-minute train service along the Barrie line.
To connect to GO train service before then:
Board or exit trains at Maple GO Station, about ten minutes south of King City GO. Note that Maple GO is under construction with limited parking. Plan ahead and give yourself extra time to travel to the station.
If you’re travelling from King City to Union Station:
- Board buses along York Region Transit’s 96 Keele - Yonge rout to connect with the TTC’s Line 1 Yonge - University subway at Pioneer Village Station.
If you’re travelling from Union to King City:
- Board TTC subway trains along Line 1 Yonge - University along the University branch. Connect with YRT buses along the 96 Keele - Yonge route at Pioneer Village Station.
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”).
