Weekend transfer plan during Kitchener GO line track work

Kitchener GO line track work will change service this weekend. Meanwhile, riders will leave trains at Bramalea. Also, they will continue to Union Station by bus and subway.

How Kitchener GO line track work affects weekend service?

Metrolinx says passengers can still board trains in Kitchener and Guelph. That service will apply on Saturday and Sunday. Meanwhile, the Bramalea GO to Union Station section will close for essential improvements. This is noted in a GO Transit construction notice. In addition, weekend service modifications will apply on that part of the route.

Under the temporary plan, trains will run from Kitchener to Bramalea. At the same time, riders continuing past Bramalea will transfer there. Also, the bus will run to the Highway 407 bus terminal. GO Transit said that on X.

Transfer route from Bramalea GO to Union Station

From the Highway 407 bus terminal, passengers will take the TTC’s Line 1 subway to Union Station. Separately, this GO bus transfer from Bramalea replaces the usual rail connection. It applies during the temporary closure.

Why Metrolinx says the work is needed?

“These track closures are required to make essential improvements to bring you better, faster and more frequent trips,” Metrolinx said in a press release.

Meanwhile, Metrolinx says the temporary changes are related to plans for the Kitchener Line. They are meant to enable the Kitchener Line to offer “two way, all-day service.”

This is outlined on the Kitchener Line GO Expansion. Still, regular service is expected to resume on Monday.
