Since Monday, May 9, GO Transit contractors have been repairing platform curbs at the east end of platforms 1 and 2 in Pickering GO Station. GO says the work will “enhance and maintain safety and improve accessibility”. Tuesday, May 24, crews end construction on the east ends of both platforms and start on the west ends.

This temporarily affects how your board or exit trains.
