GO Transit reports minor delays on Metrolinx Lakeshore East Signal Issue

GO Transit said Wednesday morning that the metrolinx lakeshore east signal issue could slow trips in and out of Union Station, with riders headed east of the transit hub facing minor delays. The transit agency told passengers to allow for extra travel time while it investigated the problem.

Union Station travel times

As of 9 a.m., GO was reporting minor delays on the Lakeshore East line. The warning centered on travel times in and out of Union Station, where the issue could affect riders moving through one of the region's busiest transit points.

GO identified the problem as a signal issue east of the transit hub. It did not give a cause in the information released Wednesday morning, but it continued to advise riders to plan for extra time while service was affected.

The practical effect for riders was narrow but immediate: trips that depend on Union Station connections could take longer than planned, and GO's own notice put the burden on passengers to build in a buffer before heading out. For commuters, that means leaving earlier rather than waiting for the delay to clear.
