Go Transit reports minor Union Station delays after signal issue

go transit riders heading into Union Station on Wednesday morning faced minor delays after the agency said it was investigating a signal issue east of the transit hub. GO Transit told riders to allow extra travel time while the issue affected travel times in and out of Union Station.

Lakeshore East line issue

GO Transit said, "We are currently investigating a signal issue on the Lakeshore East line that could impact travel times in and out of Union Station". The warning focused on the Lakeshore East line, where the problem was first identified east of the station.

Wednesday at 9 a.m.

By 9 a.m. on Wednesday, GO was reporting minor delays. That left riders with a simple choice: build in extra time or risk missing their planned connection through the downtown terminal.

Union Station travel time

The delay notice applied to trips in and out of Union Station, one of the busiest transfer points on the network. GO Transit kept riders pointed to the same immediate step while it investigated the signal issue: allow for extra travel time.

For passengers already on the way, the practical reading was straightforward. Minor delays can still affect arrival timing through Union Station, and GO had not moved beyond warning riders and monitoring the Lakeshore East line issue.
