Starting this Saturday, June 26, Metrolinx is re-introducing weekend GO Transit train service between Toronto and Niagara Falls. Trains operate Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, with four trips in each direction.

Niagara-bound trains leave Union Station at 8:51 a.m. and 12:51, 4:51 and 8:51 p.m. They end their trips in Niagara Falls at 10:52 a.m. and 2:53, 6:53 and 10:53 p.m.

Toronto-bound trains leave Niagara Falls GO Station at 11:16 a.m. and 3:16, 7:16 and 11:16 p.m. They end their trips in Union at 1:20, 5:20 and 9:20 p.m. and 1:20 a.m.

Between Union and Niagara Falls, trains stop at six GO stations:

• Exhibition;
• Port Credit;
• Oakville;
• Burlington;
• Aldershot; and
• St. Catharines.

GO is not resuming Monday-to-Friday train service to and from Niagara Falls. Passengers can board buses along the 12 Niagara Falls / Burlington route to transfer between buses and trains at Burlington GO Station.

Metrolinx is again partnering with the Niagara Parks Commission to offer $25 travel packages. The package includes round-trip GO-train fare to and from Union Station and a pass for WEGO buses so you can travel between the train station and Niagara Parks attractions. You can buy the package on-line here.

Similarly, for $8, you can buy a GO Niagara travel ticket for kids ages 6 to 12. Children accompanied by an adult ride for free on the GO train. You can buy WEGO children’s tickets separately or save with a discounted group package.

Two adults and three children (or one adult and four kids) can travel together on both GO and WEGO for only $62.20.

The package includes Niagara Falls Transit buses travelling between Table Rock and the Niagara Falls city centre for a few weekends before WEGO officially opens for the season on July 23.
