Looks like the schedules on the trip planner have been updated to reflect the Guelph speed increases with
Although, as someone that spent their teens and very early 20s in Brampton, I'd say the GO bus services from Bramalea to Yorkdale/York Mills are well known and used by Brampton youth. The rush-hour only GO trains, and frankly, the location of Bramalea (rail) station, didn't make it attractive for many unless they already had some downtown office job or university classes that matched that.

It's mostly the last train from Kitchener being canceled, a early morning wb being replaced by busses and the Guelph speed changes now reflected on the schedule.
I do wonder, though, if that whole rezoning on the NW side of Steeles/Bramalea goes through and the residential/mixed use community replaces the current old industrial land if we can 'soften" the walk/connection to the train station with some sort of pathway under Steeles at the west end (roughly where I draw in red here.Yes, it will never a "nice" walk across Steeles and through the lot....but i get the sense that people are just trying to make the best of a situation that we inherited (region wide not just Brampton) of commuter train stations in industrial areas served by wide roads. It is what it is...and if we don't do this kind of rezoning because it is not perfect...we might as well just give up here and build a couple more parking garages and tell people to just drive to the station.
How temporary is this?Service Cuts for GO:
Train Schedule Changes | Service Updates | GO Transit
We’re making time changes to some weekday Lakeshore East and Lakeshore West train trips, some weekday and weekend Barrie line trips, and to some GO bus trips.
Highlights (or I guess Lowlights):
- Weekend Service on Barrie and Stouffville Lines now only served by busses
- LSE and LSW weekend service now hourly
- Weekend service to Niagara Falls Discontinued
- Weekday Service on LSW and LSE now half hourly, service to West Harbour still Hourly
- London Line train now departs 8 minutes later (now there's a silver lining, I assume this is due to the Guelph Speed upgrades)
- Stouffville and Barrie Line trains retain most midday service, however evening service after 9pm now replaced by busses. To compensate, extra trains to Allandale and Old Elm are provided.
- There were a few schedule changes to trains to Kitchener, but I don't know enough about those services to comment on them
We must belong to the same survey panel. I got the same survey and also, despite having used GO once since the pandemic started, was asked a long list of questions.
Ya, I hate it when they start asking about 'did x make me feel valued', or ' was x an important part of your experience'. It's a damned toaster from Canadian Tire!
