Two peak hour express service train routes for Durham Region have been added by Metrolinx
Commuters will have more options as new express GO Train services have been added to Durham Region routes.
The express services have been added to the Lakeshore East line during peak hours.
The first will leave Oshawa every morning at 7:50 a.m., stopping in Whitby at 7:56 a.m., Ajax at 8:04 a.m., and Pickering at 8:09 a.m, before arriving at Union Station at 8:42 a.m.
The new evening express will leave Union Station at 4:50 p.m. and will go express to Pickering, stopping at 5:23 p.m., in Ajax at 5:28 p.m., Whitby at 5:35 p.m., and finally in Oshawa at 5:43 p.m.
Durham MPP Lindsey Park, Whitby MPP Lorne Coe, Ajax MPP Rod Phillips and Pickering-Uxbridge MPP Peter Bethlenfalvy released a joint press release on the new GO Train services.
“These new trips on the GO Lakeshore East line will provide more options for commuters from Oshawa, Clarington and Scugog,” said Park in the press release. “The less time Durham commuters spend waiting for a GO Train, the more time they can spend with those who matter most to them.”
Coe added, “As a daily GO Transit user, I join thousands of others in Durham Region in welcoming the additional trains on the Lakeshore East line.”
