GO Transit February 2, 2015 Winter Weather Service Changes

TORONTO: February 2, 2015 – Due to ongoing signal and track issues as a result of recent extreme weather, GO Transit is adjusting afternoon train service to ensure customers get to their destination safely. Service adjustments will allow us to provide the best possible service to all GO Transit customers as we work to repair track infrastructure.

The GO Transit website will be available; however work to repair technical issues with online service updates is ongoing. Customers looking for service updates are encouraged to go to https://onthegoalerts.gotransit.com/en/Subscribers/SubscriberRegistration.aspx and register for On the GO alerts, which will provide immediate information via email or text message on major delays and cancellations. The GO Transit Twitter account (@GOtransit) will continue proactively communicating service change information and responding to customer questions. We ask that media share service change information.

  2. Why doesn't gotransit.com just redirect to thiscrazytrain.com? You're effectively providing a surrogate service for them - pro bono!

  5. Once again, too little too late.

    GO & METROLINX regurgitate the same fables claiming service will be improved, signal issues resolved, and once again cannot make it through a winter storm. Even after providing the Environment Canada weather warning email (a day before) telling us to expect snowy conditions during this mornings commute.
    New slogan: Way to GO.
    EPIC FAIL AGAIN.

  6. Ok... I am a lot tired right now (My flight was over 3 hours late getting in this morning). But I read this:

    And all I could think is: this is Canada in winter. How is snow "extreme weather"?
