Metrolinx’s $27B GO Expansion delayed and scaled back: confidential report
Metrolinx’s promise of two-way, all-day GO service has been delayed, internal documents from the provincial transit agency show.
Meanwhile, under the reframed vision for what’s known as GO Expansion, some riders on the province’s train system could find their trips getting slower, not faster.
The Kitchener and Barrie lines could also have slower travel times, according to the proposed plan, because of additional stations. The Kitchener Line has new stops at Mt. Dennis, Woodbine, St. Clair-Old Weston and Kitchener-Central. The Barrie Line is now expected to connect Innisfil to Caledonia Station on Line 5, St. Clair-Old Weston, Bloor-Lansdowne and Spadina-Front.
