GO Transit is looking at the possibility of purchasing Ottawa's O-Train
to operate on the Stouffville Corridor. The city has made its
intention to sell the rail cars becuase it wants to electrify its new
light rail system. The train if purchased would operate during the off-
peak hours between Stouffville and Scarborough stations, allowing
patrons more travelling options and a connection to the Lakeshore
service.
GO Transit was contacted to see if any information was available. "Apparently the O-Train item was a verbal report by Gary McNeil (Managing Director and CEO), noting that the approval of the electrified O-Train deems the talents redundant to Ottawa, and GO Transit will now attempt to enter into negotiation to purchase the trainsets."
It was also noted that GO is planning on extending weekend train service to Oshawa.
