Enhanced GO Train Services Coming to Halton Hills

Provincial government delivering two-way, all-day GO train service through Halton Hills

Fergus, ON-The Ontario government is expanding GO Train service along the Kitchener
Line, introducing for the first time regular weekend trips through Georgetown and Acton.
The improved service will extend beyond The Halton Hills GO Station to Kitchener,
providing residents of Halton Hills with more reliable and convenient travel options to and
from the Greater Toronto Area.


“This is great news for commuters in Wellington-Halton Hills and is a critical part of our
government’s massive expansion of public transit. This will keep workers on the job and
support economic growth,” said Joseph Racinsky, MPP for Wellington-Halton Hills.
The expansion represents a major step forward in improving regional transit connectivity.
By increasing weekend service through Halton Hills, the province is strengthening access
to employment, education, and recreation opportunities while reducing congestion along
key travel routes.
