Richmond Hill line sees GO Transit’s first ever four-car trains
Metrolinx is trying new solutions to make better use of resources while pandemic ridership is low.
Apr 29, 2021
History is being made on the Richmond Hill line, more than 40-years after it opened to customers.
Starting May 3, Metrolinx will begin gradually phasing in four car trains along the Richmond Hill line. All trains on the Richmond Hill line will become four car trips by May 5.
This follows a successful trial of four-car trains on some trips that began on April 19.
Metrolinx is keeping an eye on customer levels and continue to adjust the length of trains to match demand while using rail resources efficiently.
Here’s a video of one of the four-car trains in action.
