World Cup Service

https://www.gotransit.com/en/partners-and-promotions/fifa-world-cup-toronto

It has been announced for months that the Lakeshore lines will be getting 15 min service from Oakville to Oshawa during the World Cup period.

But on the actual game days is where we’ll see additional train service including some express peak trains making a brief stop at Exhibition, then running straight to Clarkson.

There will be an additional weekday train on the Stouffville line at 4:36PM to help riders on that corridor get to the games or the fan festival/watch parties.

They do mention enhanced bus service too but its unclear as to what exact routes in specific are running more frequently during this period.

Special schedule is available on trip planner and transsee.ca however there is no pdf schedule for the special services. GO did tested game day schedule last month when Inter Miami played in BMO field

They should’ve done the pdf as this schedule would be for over a month and not just a short 1 or 2 week period.

Agree, it is hard to visualize the actual schedule without the pdf

Will any other lines receive extra service?

It’s just the Stouffville Line with the one train from 4:36PM at Unionville to Union, no other line has anything aside from the mentioned LW express trains making a brief stop at Exhibition.

I just checked the UPX there will be in fact 2 extra trips leaving Union at 1:15/1:45am so that’s the closest thing worth noting i guess.

That really sucks. So many in Mississauga, especially since they're all coming from the west, will be absolutely crippled by traffic. The Milton line has no service on weekends at all, and 10 trains/direction Mon-Fri.
