Canadian Railroads > GO Trains to Niagara Falls are back

Today is the first day there has been passenger rail service between Toronto and Niagara Falls in over four months. As recently as a week ago a public relations representative for GO, in  answer to a question about this service, said it was unknown when the week-end service would resume.

Just a few days ago GO announced that the train service would commence today. There will be four round-trips every Saturday, Sunday and holiday.

The 19:16 departure from Niagara Falls was so busy an extra train was provided at 20:00.

Since the border is closed, what will be their passenger base?  Canadians?

Yup....Canadians.

I believe they are running 6-car consists. There were 4 trains on Sat, Sun & Holidays and it was reported above (top post) that GO had to run a extra train due to the number of passengers on Sat evening. Cars also have bike racks.

GO also operates hourly double-decks buses from Niagara Falls that connect into the Lakeshore route trains in Burlington.
