• There will be no Stouffville Line train service from the evening of June 20 through June 22.

  • Stouffville riders should look to Route 71C for bus service to and from Stouffville GO and Old Elm GO stations.

Metrolinx is temporarily suspending train service on the Stouffville GO Line this weekend to complete construction work in support of future service expansion. Rail shutdowns begin the evening of Friday, June 20, and will continue through Sunday, June 22, with all trains replaced by bus service.

The temporary service change is required to carry out critical track and infrastructure upgrades that will eventually support two-way, all-day service as part of Metrolinx’s GO Expansion program. Similar work and service impacts will also take place during the weekend of July 5-6.

GO buses will run in place of trains, serving only select stations: Old Elm, Stouffville, Mount Joy, Markham, Centennial, Unionville, and the Union Station Bus Terminal. There will be no GO service at Milliken, Agincourt, or Kennedy stations, and riders using those stops are advised to plan alternate routes using the TTC.

Three GO bus routes will operate along different sections of the line. Stouffville riders should look to Route 71C, which will make all operating stops from Union Station to Old Elm. Route 71E will serve Union Station to Mount Joy, and Route 71G will run direct between Union Station and Unionville.

Trains out of Union Station will be affected beginning tonight. The 10 p.m. train will make additional stops at Stouffville and Old Elm, and the 12:01 a.m. train will be replaced by buses departing the Union Station Bus Terminal. Route 71C will depart at 12:17 a.m., stopping at Unionville and continuing to all stations through to Old Elm.

Passengers should anticipate longer travel times and potential changes to bus connection schedules. GO Transit is encouraging riders to sign up for On the GO Alerts to stay informed about schedule changes or delays.

Rail service is scheduled to resume on Monday, June 23, with minor timing adjustments between Old Elm and Agincourt stations. Southbound trains will leave stations two minutes earlier than usual, while northbound departures will be delayed by about one minute. These schedule tweaks will remain in place through June 30.

More information on bus replacement service can be found online, and riders are advised to check schedules in anticipation of next week’s changes.
