As a result of a fatal incident Saturday, November 27 near Pickering GO Station and an ongoing Ontario Ministry of Labour investigation, starting Monday, November 29, GO Transit is modifying service along the Lakeshore lines — potentially until Thursday, December 2.
GO is providing passengers with 30-minute service at all stations along the 09 Lakeshore East line using both rail and bus services:
- Trains operate between Union Station and Guildwood GO Station and between Pickering and Oshawa GO stations.
- Shuttle GO buses operate between Guildwood and Pickering to connect with train service.
Since Lakeshore East trains operate along the 01 Lakeshore West line beyond Union Station, GO is also adjusting the schedules for trains along that line to every 30 minutes between Union and Oakville GO Station.
The incident involved a worker for a company that Metrolinx contracted to work on the tracks west of Pickering station. While the Ministry of Labour investigates, it has secured the incident site and Metrolinx is postponing track repairs until further notice.
