Toronto Lakeshore East Rail Corridor
More trips, more trains, more of what you need.
We’re making improvements today to bring you even more service in the future. The Lakeshore East rail corridor serves many communities in Toronto and is the second busiest GO rail line.
Whether you are traveling to work or visiting friends and family – we’re committed to getting you there better, faster, easier.
By building on what we have today, we can improve infrastructure that will deliver faster, two-way, all-day, 15 minute service.
Benefits to the community
GO Expansion on the Lakeshore East line will offer more frequent service during middays, evenings and weekends – giving customers more flexibility to schedule what is most important and everything else in between.
We’re transforming the Lakeshore East corridor to bring more trips along the line for those traveling from and to Toronto. Frequent GO rail service will offer more service with faster trains and seamless connections to a regional rapid transit network.
