PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT: EXPANSION OF GO SERIVCE Metrolinx is expanding GO Transit's Lakeshore East rail corridor to offer new GO • train service from Oshawa to Bowmanville. We are extending GO train network by nearly 20 kilometres and building four new • stations will give people in Durham more transit options and help drive economic growth and job creation. The new GO rail service is expected to begin by 2023-24. • Expanded rail service will provide Durham Region with more direct connections to • the larger GO transit network, helping to reduce congestion in the GTHA and connecting people to jobs. This will also help minimize greenhouse gas pollution by reducing car trips and improve travel times.
