GO Transit will continue to operate on a reduced schedule for the rest of the workweek, with regular service expected to resume on the weekend.<\/p>\n

Metrolinx confirmed in an email with CTV News Toronto that GO trains will operate on a modified schedule on Friday, \u201cwith opportunities for additional trips where there is capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know it\u2019s been a challenging commute this week and we appreciate your patience,\u201d the Crown agency said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur crews are continuing to work around the clock to finish repairs on our tracks, complete testing of the signals, and return damaged infrastructure to service so we can add more train service.\u201d<\/p>\n

GO Transit has been operating on a modified schedule since Monday<\/a>, when a train on the Kitchener line leaving Union Station at low speed derailed and struck a track switch.<\/p>\n

It created significant delays across the whole GO train network and continued to impact service the following days.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at the GO train schedule for Friday:<\/p>\n

Lakeshore East: 60-minute service, outside of 15\u201330-minute peak a.m. and p.m. service.Lakeshore West: 60-minute service, outside of 15\u201330-minute peak a.m. and p.m. serviceUP Express: 15-minute serviceKitchener: 60-minute service, outside of 30-minute peak a.m. and p.m. service.Milton: 30-minute a.m. and p.m. peak serviceRichmond Hill: 60-minute a.m. and p.m. peak serviceStouffville: 30-minute a.m. and p.m. peak serviceBarrie: 30-minute a.m. and p.m. peak service<\/p>\n

In a post on LinkedIn on Thursday afternoon<\/a>, Metrolinx CEO Michael Lindsay said the repair work was \u201clargely complete\u201d and GO Transit was \u201con track for full restoration this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also shared the two GO trains on the Lakeshore lines encountered \u201cmain engine reservoir failures\u201d around 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, which resulted in hours-long delays for 2,300 customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe modified service and these delays created real distress for riders. Many people missed appointments, struggled to make day-care pickups, were late for work, or faced a long and uncertain trip home,\u201d Lindsay said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am genuinely sorry for the impact this has had on so many of my neighbours and fellow riders.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cause of the derailment is under investigation, and Lindsay has said the results will be made public once they are completed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese incidents were unprecedented and created challenges that none of us want to see repeated,\u201d the Metrolinx CEO said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GO Transit will continue to operate on a reduced schedule for the rest of the workweek, with regular…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":456852,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[712,43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-456851","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-apple-news","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456851","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=456851"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456851\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/456852"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=456851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=456851"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=456851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
