Toronto transit shutdown weekend: GO trains and TTC Line 2 east end replaced by buses Nov. 14-15

Toronto faces one of the busiest transit closure weekends of the fall: GO Transit's Barrie Line, the UP Express airport train and the east end of TTC subway Line 2 are all out of service today and tomorrow (November 14 and 15), replaced by buses throughout. Regular service is expected to resume at about 6 a.m. on Monday, November 16.

Barrie Line suspended; buses connect to Line 1

No trains run on the GO Transit Barrie Line on Saturday or Sunday. Riders use GO buses between Allandale Waterfront, Rutherford GO and the Highway 407 Bus Terminal, then the TTC's Line 1 subway into Toronto. At Newmarket GO, buses stop at a temporary Prospect Street stop because Davis Drive is closed, until 6 a.m. on November 18; Downsview Park GO has no GO service this weekend, and riders are advised to take TTC Line 1 instead.

UP Express replaced by buses direct to the airport

UP Express trains between Union Station and Pearson Airport are also suspended, replaced by buses running direct to Terminal 1, with no stops at Bloor, Mount Dennis or Weston. The last trains ran on Friday night at 11 p.m. from Union Station and 11:39 p.m. from the airport.

Line 2 east end closed; Warden Station shut all weekend

TTC subway Line 2 (Bloor-Danforth) is closed between Victoria Park and Kennedy stations all weekend, with shuttle buses running instead, and Warden Station, in between, is closed for the whole weekend. The closures are for planned track work. The TTC said staff will be at Victoria Park and Kennedy stations to assist riders, and Wheel-Trans service is available on request. The TTC issued the advisory earlier this week. Sources: TTC service advisory; Deep Arrival; spkr.
