Significant construction and rehabilitation work planned for select station, bridge and track infrastructure along the Lake Shore West corridor will require the increased capacity of the Bathurst Yard train facility to accommodate additional VIA trains. Due to insufficient wayside power capacity, trains will be idling overnight. Crews will do their best to mitigate noise impacts in the area.
