Ontario announcement for GO train expansion: https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/10044...ronto-area
-starts on April 28
-adding more than 300 train trips per week
-15% overall increase in weekly trips
-switching every 2nd UP Express train to be 'express' from Union to Pearson without stopping at Bloor or Weston, presumably to combat crowding issues on those trains, instead of getting more trains (UP will only stop at those stations once every 30 minutes, now)
-"For the first time, riders on the Kitchener line will also benefit from new 30-minute weekday service during midday and evenings between Bramalea and Union Station."
Mixed reviews on this one, for sure. Great to see that the core lines are getting huge increases in frequency during off-peak hours, but Kitchener and Guelph have been totally left out again, still with no timeline provided on when we can expect to join the party.
