GO trains are being taken out of service the next two weekends in Mississauga’s south end, parts of Toronto and elsewhere along the Lakeshore West line as crews work to complete “major track upgrades” along the busy route, transit officials say.

No GO trains will run between Union Station in downtown Toronto and Aldershot GO in Burlington this Saturday and Sunday (May 23-24) as well as the May 30-31 weekend, Metrolinx, the provincial agency in charge of GO Transit, said in an email update on Wednesday morning.

That means no trains will be running during those periods in west Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville and Burlington. There will also be some late-night service adjustments this Friday.

However, regular Lakeshore West train service will continue between Niagara Falls and Aldershot GO the next two weekends, transit officials noted.

Regular GO train service will resume on Monday, May 25 and again the following Monday, June 1.

“These track closures are required to make essential improvements that will support faster, more frequent GO service as part of GO expansion,” Metrolinx said in its update. 

Officials added GO customers should also take note of the following the next two weekends:

GO replacement buses will operate, making stops at West Harbour, Aldershot, Burlington, Oakville and Clarkson GO stations before then continuing to Bramalea GO where customers can connect to eastbound trains on the Kitchener line to Union Station in downtown Toronto.
On Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24, there will be no GO Transit service at all at Appleby, Bronte, Port Credit, Long Branch, Mimico or Exhibition GO stations. 
On Saturday, May 30 and Sunday, May 31, there will be no GO Transit service at all at Appleby, Bronte, Port Credit or Long Branch GO stations. Special GO trains will run between Mimico GO and Union Station on a 15-minute schedule.  

 More information about Lakeshore West line service adjustments and alternate route options is available online.
