Big news for Niagara Region! A major construction contract has been awarded for the future Grimsby GO Station, bringing us one step closer to expanding GO rail service along the Lakeshore West Line. Once complete, the new station will help strengthen connections across Hamilton and Niagara, improve access to transit, and reduce travel times for many local residents.

Train service may have paused, but work didn't. Here's some of what we were able to accomplish during this past weekend's planned service disruption: - Utility relocations were performed in Guelph as part of the Kitchener Extension project - Foundational work was implemented on the Barrie Line to support a second track and improvements to the corridor - Signalling and track work was accomplished at Aurora GO - Underground utilities were installed at King City GO With extensive work taking place along the corridors and sites across our network, it was a productive weekend, despite the inconvenience for our valued customers. We thank you for your patience as we continue to build a network that will offer faster, more frequent GO service.

If you’re near the construction site of the future Gerrard tunnel portal, this person may look familiar... Meet Anastasia, one of the key people keeping the public safe while we build the @OntarioLine. Watch to find out what flaggers do and how you can stay as safe as possible as the new subway takes shape.

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, we honour survivors, their families and communities, and remember the children who never returned home. As we wear orange today, we encourage everyone to take time to reflect, attend local events where possible, and continue their learning and commitment to reconciliation.

On September 30, we honour residential school Survivors and the children who never returned home.

Giving the tracks a refresh! Across the GO network, crews are replacing aging track components to help deliver a smoother, more reliable ride. Recent closures on the Lakeshore East and Stouffville lines allowed crews to tackle a wide range of work that will help keep the network running safely and reliably for years to come. On the Lakeshore East Line, teams completed track renewal work near Danforth GO using specialized work trains and yellow plant equipment to move materials and complete work more efficiently. The closure also allowed crews to make progress on the reconstruction of the Birchmount Bridge and the future Ontario Line subway. Meanwhile on the Stouffville Line, crews continued work on the Finch Avenue East Underpass. Additional maintenance between Kennedy GO and Unionville GO included rail tie replacements, rail securement work and repairs to key infrastructure along the line. All this work leads to improved safety and track stability, smoother rides and fewer slowdowns, and stronger infrastructure to support future GO service So the next time you see track work underway, there's a good reason behind it.

Meet our work trains 👋 Made up of specialized rail cars, work trains carry track materials directly to construction sites and remove waste once work is completed. Moving materials by rail means fewer trucks are needed on local roads, helping to reduce traffic, noise, and construction impacts in surrounding communities. Think of them as moving warehouses on rails, carrying what crews need to support major rail projects across the network. 🚆

What gets done when trains aren't running? Over the past two weekends, we closed a portion of the Barrie and Kitchener lines and suspended service on UP Express to advance construction and maintenance projects that will help deliver faster, more frequent GO service. On the Kitchener Line, crews building the future Stockyards Station continued work to demolish the St. Clair bridge, including using excavators and other machinery to efficiently remove portions of the bridge. Over on the Barrie Line, crews conducted foundational work for a second track and corridor improvements, and in the rail corridor surrounding Union Station, crews, work trains, and our yellow plant fleet removed the existing tracks and prepared the track bed to install two new crossovers. While we know planned service disruptions can be inconvenient, these shutdowns are crucial when it comes to building a network that will offer faster, more frequent service. Every track upgrade, station improvement, and maintenance project brings us one step closer to a more connected transit network.

Check right, point right. Check left, point left. Customer service ambassadors use a Japanese point and call technique called shisa kanko that combines visual and verbal checks during critical moments to maintain safety. Whether you're boarding or exiting, this extra step helps keep safety front and centre. 🚆✅

Six months of Line 5 Eglinton 🚊 Since riders were welcomed on February 8, 2026, Line 5 Eglinton has experienced consistent improvement. On-time performance has improved, round-trip travel times are shorter, and tunnel operating speeds have increased. As we celebrate six months of service, we're proud of the progress made and the partnerships behind this city-building project. 🎥 Take a virtual tour of the stations and stops on Line 5 Eglinton: bit.ly/4x7u7YT
