GO rail line coming to Vaughan
The Ontario provincial government has announced plans to construct a GO commuter rail line from Toronto to Vaughan and Caledon.
The train service is designed to serve people who work in Toronto and live in Vaughan, Caledon, and Brampton, all of which will be stops on the new line, and help to reduce gridlock in the Golden Horseshoe region. The line will terminate at Toronto’s Union Station, which links to GO train and bus services across Southern Ontario as well as VIA Rail service to the rest of Canada. It is expected to serve 1.3 million people once it is fully operational. The Caledon-Vaughan corridor will be the first all-new GO line built since 1982.
The Vaughan-Caledon line was announced as part of the broader Greater Golden Horseshoe Transportation Plan, which consists of a number of projects the province aims to implement in the coming decades. The plan also includes the widening of highways and the construction of the new Highway 413. The move is part of ongoing efforts to modernize and extend the GO system that have included the introduction of PRESTO cards and the extension of all-day GO train service between Toronto and Hamilton. Transit agencies often use public announcements, brochure printing, and other outreach methods to inform riders of new lines and schedule changes.
The Vaughan-Caledon GO train line was officially announced in March 2022. There is currently no timetable for construction and opening.
