BURLINGTON, ON
There will be a temporary service change on the Lakeshore West line between Oakville and West Harbour GO starting today at 9 p.m. until end of service on Sunday, June 11.
With lots of events planned in Toronto and around the region, we expect very high volumes of customers on our service. During this time, GO buses will replace train service between Oakville and West Harbour GO. GO train service will run as normal between Oakville and Union Station.
For customers travelling to Niagara, we encourage you to consider bypassing the bus replacement by travelling straight to Aldershot GO to begin your train trip to Niagara Falls. Alternatively, customers can take the Route 12 bus from Burlington to Niagara Falls. For those travelling to Toronto, we recommend travelling straight to Oakville GO to begin your train trip into Toronto.
Customers using bus shuttles will experience longer than normal travel times while transferring between trains and buses. Staff will be available at stations to answer questions.
What customers need to know:
To prepare for upcoming construction of the Burloak Drive grade separation, we need to move important infrastructure in the corridor. This can only be done when trains are not running. That is why starting today at 9 p.m. until end of service Sunday, June 11, buses will replace trains between Oakville and West Harbour GO.
Here is what customers need to know:
- Normal GO train service will run between Union Station and Oakville GO.
- Shuttle bus service will run only between Oakville and West Harbour GO stations.
- Niagara Falls train service will start and end at Aldershot GO.
- Train and bus connections for routes 12, 15, 18, and 21 will also be impacted.
- Use gotransit.com or triplinx.ca to plan your trip
Regular service will resume Monday, June 12.
