Is Stouffville Line getting weekend services this October?

Probably not. They also want to wait until construction is done on double tracking from Kennedy to Unionville.

Just curious but what is the most frequent GO bus route and at what frequencies?

^ 407 corridor at peak?

But that is multiple routes sharing a similar corridor. All the routes run at 30 min each. I’m asking about the most frequency single route (branches not included).

Likely the Milton GO corridor in the shoulder peak periods. Most buses only stop at one or two stations so the effective frequency is quite low, but between 10am and 10:45 there are 14 buses that arrive at Union Station - meaning just over a 3 minute "frequency".

I orginally said they wouldn't start trains from bramalea until after construction was finished. And now we have 2 morning and 2 evening trips that use the unfinished 4th platform. The highway 401/409 site is all fenced off with chain link anyways and is off corridor anyways. Plus the midday trains always switch tracks from the northmost "Go Track" to the UP express eastbound track. Squeezing in 1 train per hour up to Bramalea or Mount Pleasant should be too much of a problem other than CN.

Let me clarify that there might be some surprises about Weekend Stouffville service sooner rather than later.

I hope weekend service on Stouffville is annouced concurrently with Kitchener weekend service. Thank way they can maintain the same interlined midday service that currently exists.

I don’t understand why the 401/409 tunnel construction would prevent weekend trains on the Kitchener line. UP runs just the same.

UP and Go trains pass each other around E. North station or the Humber River Valley all the time. Whether or not they are choreographed to do that and specifically not within the tunnel itself I couldn’t say. But isn’t the speed limit in the tunnel somewhat limited to allow trains to pass each other within its walls?
