More GO train trips added between Brampton and Toronto

In 2026, it will be easier for Brampton travellers to commute to and from Toronto on weekends.

Eighteen new trips have been added for trains between the Bramalea GO Station and Union Station on the Kitchener Line.

Ontario Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria said the increased service will eventually lead to two-way, all-day GO train service on the Kitchener Line. However, no timeline has been provided for when that will begin.

The new service started in late November.

Other stations on the Kitchener Line include Guelph, Acton, Georgetown, Mount Pleasant, Brampton, Malton, Etobicoke and Union Station in Toronto.

The increased commuter traffic is based on a deal reached between the province and CN to purchase land to construct dedicated GO tracks on the Kitchener Line.

The Ontario government says the move is the latest step to build faster two-way, all-day rapid service on the Kitchener Line as part of the Kitchener Extension Project. This project will add 40 km of new, two-way track and includes track re-alignments, signal upgrades, bridge work and platform expansion along the corridor.

When complete, the new Kitchener Line will enable:

Bramalea GO:

• Two-way, all-day service, seven days per week

Mount Pleasant GO

• 30-minute two-way, all-day service, seven days per week
• Additional trains during peak rush hour travel times to provide enhanced service to Union Station in the morning and to Mount Pleasant GO in the evening

Kitchener GO

• 60-minute two-way, all-day service, seven days per week
• Additional trains during peak rush hour travel times to provide enhanced service to Union Station in the morning and to Kitchener GO in the evening

On Nov. 23, GO Transit train service was expanded on the Kitchener Line. The service increases include:

• 18 new weekend trips between Bramalea GO and Union Station, which will enable service every 30 minutes
• Four existing weekend trips will be extended from Mount Pleasant GO to Kitchener GO, enabling weekend service to Kitchener for the first time
• Two new weekday trips between Bramalea GO and Union Station
• Two existing weekday trips will be extended to Bramalea GO (previously Malton GO)
• One existing weekday trip will be extended to Kitchener GO (previously Guelph Central GO)
