GO Trains Update: Additional service on Lakeshore East

Metrolinx yesterday said its GO Transit officials are working on plans to provide additional service to Lakeshore East users on November 30 and December 1.

Train services on the route have been disrupted following a contract worker’s death on Saturday night.

“Metrolinx is aware of large social events and gatherings in downtown Toronto on Tuesday (Nov. 30) and Wednesday (Dec. 1) evening. GO Transit officials are working on plans to provide additional service to Lakeshore East customers who will be attending those events,” it said in an statement issued yesterday afternoon.

The scene of the fatal incident is in the hands of Ontario Ministry of Labour officials, as they investigate the death of a railway worker on Saturday (Nov. 27). GO Transit officials are working to keep Lakeshore East customers moving, as the impact is expected to continue until at least Thursday morning (Dec. 2). However, delays are expected, said Metrolinx.

Here’s the latest information for customers:

  • For Lakeshore East customers, as the Ministry of Labour continues their investigation near Pickering GO station, the service on the line remains modified.
  • Depending on where customers are traveling to, riders may need to take a train and bus connection to get to a destination.
  • While Metrolinx recognizes that bus connections can make for a longer travel time, officials ask that customers continue to use home stations as parking lots are filling up quickly.
  • To make best use of limited resources and insure Metrolinx can provide 30 minute service during peak periods, Lakeshore East will be dropping to hourly service after 7 pm for the coming days.

The individual who died in the incident on Saturday night was a worker of a company contracted to Metrolinx that was doing work with ballast vehicles along the tracks east of Rouge Hill GO Station, on the Lakeshore East rail line.
