GO Transit, TTC weekend service disruptions

Published: 

A portion of TTC’s Line 1 will be closed on Sunday, while there will be limited service between Lawrence West and Wilson on Monday.

Travelling through the GTA might be more precarious than usual this weekend.

GO Transit will suspend service on the Lakeshore East line between Durham College Oshawa and Union stations on Saturday and Sunday due to planned construction.

Replacement buses will operate between Durham College Oshawa and Pickering GO, with express service continuing from Pickering GO to Union Station.

There will be no GO Transit service at Rouge Hill, Guildwood, Eglinton, Scarborough and Danforth GO stations.

On the Stouffville line, service will also be suspended between Old Elm GO and Union Station.

Replacement buses will run between Durham College Oshawa and Pickering GO before continuing to Union Station Bus Terminal.

There will be no GO Transit service at Milliken, Agincourt and Kennedy GO

On the Lakeshore West line, GO Transit service will be reduced on both days.

Trains will operate hourly between West Harbour GO and Union Station and every 30 minutes between Oakville GO and Union Station.

Line 1 Closures

TTC subway service will also be affected.

On Sunday, Line 1 Yonge–University will be closed between St. George Station and Sheppard West Station for track work.

Shuttle buses will replace subway service, and TTC staff will be on site to assist passengers.

The TTC will run single-line service between Lawrence West and Wilson stations on Monday. Single-line service means both northbound and southbound trains will only run on the northbound tracks. Shuttle buses will supplement service.
