A lot can happen during a planned service disruption 🚧

During this past weekend’s closures on the Lakeshore East and Stouffville lines, crews completed a range of construction activities, including:

- Track renewal near Danforth GO using our yellow plant machines
- Installation of temporary support structures for the Birchmount Bridge reconstruction
- Prep work at the Finch Avenue East underpass for an upcoming track diversion
- Necessary maintenance within the corridor

This work is all part of how we're keeping GO infrastructure safe and reliable while laying the groundwork for faster, more frequent service.

GO train?! More like GOat train.

Durham Region is representing at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair thanks to the arrival of Sugar and Spice. Sugar and Spice, the identical twin Angora goats, are the official 2026 Royal Ambassadors of the fair and represent Canadian agriculture, livestock, and fibre arts.

Hope you enjoyed your trip, kids. See you at the Fair!

This Remembrance Day, we're proud to continue honouring Canadian Armed Forces members and veterans with free travel on @GOTransit and @UPExpress.

Starting Nov. 11, the CAF/Veterans fare type on your @PRESTOcard will be accepted on both GO Transit and UP Express, creating a more seamless travel experience across our network.

If you already have the CAF/Veterans fare type, no action is required. It will automatically apply on both GO Transit and UP Express. The fare type must be renewed every five years to remain valid.

To add the fare type to your PRESTO card, visit a GO Transit or UP Express station and present valid ID to a station ambassador.

While trains weren't running on some sections of the network this past weekend, crews were hard at work advancing projects to expand GO.

This includes:
- building the future Stockyards and Junction Triangle GO stations,
- foundational work for a second track along the Barrie Line,
- track renewals in Toronto's east end,
- corridor upgrades around Union Station,
maintenance on crossings,
- and installing concrete supports to replace the Grand River rail bridge.

These planned closures create the space needed to safely complete work that will bring you more frequent service and support a more connected, reliable transit system for years to come.

Dig deep! We're looking for your name ideas.

The two tunnel boring machines that will help build the Yonge North Subway Extension are getting ready to begin their underground journey, but first, they need names.

Submit your ideas for a chance to leave your mark on a project that will transform travel across the region.
