I have to disagree. If enough money was offered to CPKC to run one return trip on Saturday's & Sunday's, I'm sure CPKC would play ball. One weekend GO train is not going to interupt CPKC's current freight sevice on the line. No, I believe why the Milton line is neglected is because of the...

So a weekend GO train to Stratford, but can't put one weekend train on the Milton line? Glad to see priorities with Uncle Dougies government. Thus ends my rant instead of destroying my computer.

I think the true point is that Milton is one of, if not, the fastest growing communities in Ontario. It has been for years, and we can’t even get limited weekend service. Another point is that prior to Covid, for a time, the Milton GO line was the 2nd busiest line outside the combined lakeshore...

While not large, Laurier Univeristy has a campus and Conestoga college has two campuses. North of the 401 & east of James Snow is massive amounts or large warehousing and commercial offices.

Nice that the government can spend money to expand Kitchener line service again & again, yet can't drop a dime for limited weekend Milton service!

Thanks for the information. Yes, it was a Westbound autorack.

You've got a point. My counter would be that works if you don't mind standing or have no large item such as a bike. I find at times in the summer, especially if multiple events are on (Jays, FC, Concert) that the majority of the time, the trains are full comming out of Burlington. Several...

I have ridden the last couple of Saturday's that there was Milton train service. Sept 13th for the Argo’s game and last Saturday (27th) to go bike riding. Both weekends seemed to have a large amount of people getting on (at Milton at least). On the return trip getting off in Milton (the 13th), I...

Thanks for educating me on how the crews work WB62 and E•MO•TION. It was very informative. I always thought that GO crews operated like freight and VIA crews, where engineers are qualified on certain lines (subs). I thought that each line would have different operating rules, thus Metrolinx...

As someone who lives in Milton I have a vested interest in increased Milton service as well. As I’ve posted before, I travel into the city a lot on weekends. Especially in the summer with my bike. This means driving down to Bronte and fighting for a spot on a LSW train that is already full...

Nope. Only ever sent emails to Metrolinx and got the standard response's such as "We’ve heard from many of our GO customers that they would love to see more service, and we’re working on it".

I would be interested (if available) the number of Lakeshore West riders that are actually from Milton line station catchment area's). I did a lot of biking in Toronto this summer and I had to cart my bike down to Bronte and hope the train wasn't full from Burlington (it was on game days), and...

Hi everybody. I’m a long-time reader paying attention to any Milon news. I understand that CP owns the line, not Metrolinx and my question is not related to all day service. As a Milton resident, I was wondering if any of the knowledgeable posters on here may be able to answer if or why there...
