鈥淲e are moving forward with the single-largest addition of new stations along the GO rail network since we started service nearly 50 years ago,鈥� said Bruce McCuaig, president and CEO of Metrolinx. 鈥淭hese new stations will bring improved transportation options closer to home to help everyone get where they need to go, faster and more efficiently.鈥�
Plans for GO RER include electrification of core segments of the network by 2024.

The proposed new GO train stations will be considered at this week鈥檚 Metrolinx Board of Directors meeting and are subject to funding availability, environmental assessment processes, and further planning, engineering and design work.
