Some trains on the Kitchener GO train line will be replaced by buses this weekend.
Construction is scheduled on Friday May 31 at 11 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. on Saturday June 1. The track work will force GO Transit to replace the trains with service to all stations, except for Weston, Bloor and Etobicoke North.
On Friday, the 11:22 p.m. train from Bramalea GO to Union Station is cancelled and will be replaced by a bus 31L.
It will depart at 11:25, 11:30 and 11:35 p.m., serve Malton GO Station, and head to Union Station Bus Terminal.
Departing Union, bus 31K will leave at 11:24 p.m. and run express to Brampton GO and end at Mount Pleasant GO.
