Nov. 29 – 30 – UP Express Service Adjustments

On Saturday, Nov. 29 and Sunday, Nov. 30, GO buses replace UP Express trains due to planned construction, as we prepare for the new St. Clair-Old Weston station which will provide access to local destinations such as Weston and Woodbine to shorten commutes and increase quality of life for locals and visitors alike.

GO buses will run direct between Union Station Bus Terminal and Pearson Airport Terminal 1. Estimated travel time is between 30 and 50 minutes.

What type of work is happening:

Metrolinx is transforming GO Transit to bring more frequent two-way, all-day service to the Kitchener line seven days a week. This planned track work requires us to temporarily suspend service on UP Express so that construction can be performed safely. 

We’ve changed the way you board UP Express at Union Station!

When you’re waiting for your train on the platform, pay attention to the new floor signs. They'll show you where to stand to board the train quickly and safely. Remember to always let passengers exit the train before you board.
