Subject: Schedule Changes
Lakeshore East Passengers: To meet the continuing demand for service on your line beginning on September 6th, we will add two new peak time trains on your line.
A new eastbound trip will depart Union at 07:50 making all stops arriving Oshawa GO at 08:48 and a new westbound all stops train will leave Oshawa GO at 09:08 and arrive Union at 10:11.
In addition, the eastbound train trip that departs Union at 15:45 has been extended to now make all stops to Oshawa arriving Oshawa at 16:46 and the return trip therefore will now originate in Oshawa at 16:56 making all stops to Pickering and express there after, arriving Union at 17:45.
Connecting buses at Oshawa have also been adjusted to allow passengers to connect with these trains.
Good call on the 3:45pm all stops eastbound to Oshawa. I don't fully understand the science and logistics behind train scheduling but at least now there's a train between 8:38am and 9:38am from Oshawa.

WooHoo FINALLY the 3:45 goes to Oshawa!!!!!! Its about time that Go Transit realized that an East bound train at 3:45 that only goes to Pickering is of very little use when most of the riders at that time of day are from Pickering and further East........
I'd really like a train departing in between the 7:36am and the 8:08 (Ajax-->Union) One in the middle of those would be perfect for me!
Love the change to the 15:45 LSE. The morning doesn't matter as I have to start at 7am and usually snag a ride downtown. At least now when the boss says you can leave early an I have just missed the 15:13 I do not have to wait until 16:10.
GO shares the tracks with CP and CN. They can't run trains all day even if they wanted too. Thats the science behind it...
