From late Friday, October 4 until the end of service Sunday, October 6, GO Transit is cancelling train service along the 09 Lakeshore East line due to construction and maintenance work.

Metrolinx is replacing a track switch between Danforth GO Station and Union Station. Crews are also repairing the tracks on the Birchmount Bridge and widening the corridor to accommodate the new East Harbour GO Station and the future Ontario Line subway. This construction also affects service along the 71 Stouffville line this weekend.

Shuttle buses replace trains along the line Saturday and Sunday, but will not drop off or pick up passengers in Rouge Hill, Guildwood, Eglinton, Scarborough or Danforth GO stations. Instead, board the TTC to travel to and from those stations.

GO is adjusting schedules and connection times this weekend. Check schedules and leave earlier than usually to make sure you can board your bus or train at the correct time. GO is also adjusting the schedules for buses along the 88 Peterborough / Oshawa route to make sure passengers can connect with trains.

Depending on your destination, you may wish to use other GO services, including buses along the 92 Oshawa / Yorkdale or 96 Oshawa / Finch express routes to connect with local transit and continue your commute.
