What is Happening?

In support of improvements being made at Aurora GO Station, Metrolinx crews will be conducting signal work from north of Centre Street towards Engelhard Drive, and track works on the north end of the station. This work will occur during a weekend service pause of the Barrie GO rail line, so that crews can work on the track safely without live trains passing by.
