GO Transit train service to Niagara Falls will be impacted this weekend, with train service ending at Aldershot GO in Burlington.

Weekend GO Transit train service between Niagara Falls and Burlington will be impacted this weekend, due to infrastructure work that needs to be done to prepare for upcoming construction of the Burloak Drive grade separation in Oakville.

Metrolinx, the provincial agency that oversees road and public transit planning in the Golden Horseshoe region, said the impacts affecting the Lakeshore West line between Oakville and West Harbour GO will start at 9 a.m. Friday and last until the end of Sunday, June 11.

The agency said the infrastructure work can only be done when trains are not running.

That means that GO buses will replace train service between Oakville and West Harbour GO. Train and bus connections for routes 12, 15, 18 and 21 will be impacted and Niagara Falls train service will end at Aldershot GO in Burlington, Metrolinx said. GO train service will continue as normal between Oakville GO and Union Station.

For Niagara Falls, GO bus 12 service will run as scheduled between Burlington GO and Niagara Falls.

Regular service will resume Monday, June 12, Metrolinx said.
