Starting Tuesday, October 11, GO Transit is revising train service along several lines.
It’s restoring some service that it cancelled during the COVID-19 pandemic. GO says, “We’re bringing service back in phases and working to get you ready to ride once again. As we gradually add more trips, be sure to check schedules in advance and plan ahead. We’ll continue to pay close attention to travel patterns and do our best to keep service aligned with demand.”
GO is revising train services along these lines: 01 Lakeshore West; 31 Kitchener; 61 Richmond Hill; 65 Barrie; 71 Stouffville.

Starting Tuesday, October 11, GO is adjusting some train trips by a few minutes, it says, “to better reflect travel times.”

Starting Tuesday, October 11, GO is adjusting the schedules for some trains along the line by a few minutes. Some trains make longer than normal stops at Agincourt GO Station to give passengers extra time to board their trains.
To accommodate for this schedule change, most southbound trains from Old Elm GO Station leave one minute earlier than usually and some northbound trains leave stations north of Agincourt one minute later.
Starting Saturday, October 15, GO resumes regular weekend and holiday service along the line.
