McGuinty Government Improving Public Transit
Morning rush hour just got a little easier for GO commuters as an additional train trip has been added on the Lakeshore East GO Transit line.
As of Monday, April 5, the GO Train schedule was adjusted to add another trip for commuters traveling from Oshawa to Union Station. There will now be trains leaving Oshawa at 6:47 a.m., 7:00 a.m. and 7:15 a.m. The trains will make all stops to Pickering and will then run express to Union Station. Commuters taking these trains will get to Union Station in less than an hour.
More schedule information is available on GO Transit's website.
