If you were hoping to travel into Union Station from Barrie this coming weekend, you will need to make other arrangements or prepare to hop on a bus. Starting on Saturday, May 2, until end of service on Sunday, May 3, Barrie Line rail service will be temporarily modified to accommodate critical track work. These track closures are required to make essential improvements to bring you better, faster and more frequent trips.
Metrolinx says that during this time, there will be no GO train service on the Barrie line. GO buses will replace train service at all stations except for Downsview Park GO and Union Station.
- GO replacement buses will operate between Barrie Transit Terminal and Rutherford GO then run direct to Hwy 407 Bus Terminal where riders can connect to TTC Line 1 to go to Union Station.
- There will be no GO Transit service to or from Downsview Park GO. Customers traveling to and from those stations are encouraged to use the TTC.
