Metrolinx Notice: Impacts to GO Service on the Milton Line

By August 22, 2024Resources

Councillor Dasko has been advised of the following information by Metrolinx:

In the event of a labour disruption, only GO train services on the Milton line and at Hamilton GO would be temporarily suspended due to the interruption of rail traffic services provided by Canadian Pacific Kansas City. All other GO lines, the UP Express and Lakeshore West line stations would not be impacted. The Canadian National Railway Company labour disruption would not affect any GO or UP Express services.

Hamilton GO customers are able to access services at West Harbour GO (approximately 1.5 km from Hamilton GO), Aldershot GO or use normally scheduled GO Bus service on Route 16.

Customers on the Milton corridor are encouraged to consider local transit options or access GO Transit services on the Lakeshore West or Kitchener corridors as an alternative. Please note that service may be busier than usual on these lines as a result of additional passengers.

We are closely monitoring this situation and will inform our customers of any changes should a labour disruption occur. Customers are encouraged to plan ahead by visiting gotransit.com before travelling.
