GO Transit users should prepare for changes this weekend as a significant construction closure affects train service on much of the Lakeshore West line.
On Saturday, Oct. 24 and Sunday, Oct. 25, there won’t be any GO train service between Aldershot GO and Union Station due to scheduled construction work.
Trains will still run between Niagara Falls and Aldershot GO, while buses will operate from West Harbour GO to the Union Station Bus Terminal.
This disruption means no service at Appleby, Bronte, Port Credit, Long Branch, Mimico or Exhibition GO stations during the weekend closure.
Riders who typically use these stations will need to rely on local transit systems like Burlington Transit, Oakville Transit, Mi Way and the TTC to access available GO services.
For those heading east from Appleby GO, it’s recommended to take Oakville Transit Route 14A to reach Oakville GO and then connect with a bus service to Union Station Bus Terminal. The journey is expected to last around one hour and 52 minutes.
If you’re at Bronte GO, you can catch Oakville Transit Route 18 to Oakville GO and transfer to a bus going to Union Station Bus Terminal. This trip takes about one hour and 21 minutes.
From Port Credit GO, riders can use Mi Way Route 2 and then switch onto GO bus Route 21 towards Union Station Bus Terminal. This route should take approximately one hour and 32 minutes.
If you’re starting your journey from Long Branch GO heading downtown, you can take TTC bus Route 110A to Islington Station. From there, hop on Line 2 towards St. George Station and switch over to Line 1 southbound heading toward Union Station. Expect this trip to take about one hour and eight minutes.
