All-day, two-way GO service is coming, to connect you what matters.

Today, the GO Train from York Region to Toronto and back is a commuter experience, accommodating customers who work in the city. Tomorrow, GO Expansion on the Stouffville line will offer frequent electrified train service in both directions, with trains every 15 minutes or better, as well as access to 4 new stations and transit connections. There will be more trips at every point along the line – from Stouffville to Markham, Scarborough, and Toronto, giving you transit options for doing the things you love, wherever they’re found in the region. We’re transforming your line into true frequent rapid transit experience, faster, better and easier.

We’re delivering more rapid transit service and 4 new stations, today through 2025.

No matter the time of day you want to get moving, you’re going to have transit options. Convenient service when you need it will help you live life to its fullest potential, no matter where it takes you. Service on the Stouffville line will increase 400% by 2025, including even more frequent service during middays, evenings and weekends.

We’re increasing the number of weekly train trips from 1,500 to about 6,000. That’s a lot more seats and a lot more options – and a lot fewer cars on the roads. With more residents using clean, quick transit, we’ll be doing our part to make your life in our region better.

This line is your local launching pad into a regional rapid transit network. Take that exciting new job in another city, make fun weekend plans, and visit family more conveniently. Along with connections to the TTC subway, the Eglinton Crosstown LRT and YRT/Viva, you’ll have opportunities to move like never before.

Two-way all-day service requires new infrastructure between Lincolnville GO and Union Station. Significant work is already are underway to make the changes needed so the corridor can accommodate two-way all-day service. This means electrifying the route, a new fleet to carry you, plus new signals, communications systems and bridges and tunnels.

Across the corridor, there are many projects under construction or in the planning and pre-construction phases to bring more service to our customers. These include:

  • 2 new GO stations (Finch East and Lawrence East, under off-corridor portfolio);
  • Upgrades or renovations to all other GO stations;
  • New train layover at Lincolnville;
  • Grade separation at Steeles Avenue East;
  • Double-track grading and construction from Union Station to Unionville.
