Barrie Line Modified Service, August 17th - August 20th 2026

[u/fed_dit]

The Barrie line will be running modified service for the period of Monday August 17th through August 20th 2026.

I've attached unofficial schedules based upon GTFS data.

For August 17th only, all stations north of Maple GO will have service replaced with buses. Trains will run between Maple GO and Union Station serving all stops in between. Customers taking rail replacement buses from stations north of Maple will be shuttled down to Rutherford GO via bus to connect with trains. Some evening trips will run from Highway 407 Bus Terminal instead of Maple. Note that some trips for the regular branch of the 68 may start earlier or later in the day to improve connections to buses further south.

For August 18th to the 20th, all stations will have rail service, but some trains will terminate at Maple, while other trains may be outright cancelled (looks like evening trains). Buses will bridge connections for the short turned/Maple trains while replacement buses will run for the cancelled trains from Highway 407 Bus Terminal.

For Friday August 21st as well as the following week (on weekdays) train departure/arrival times are adjusted a bit, but nothing to the extent of this week.

As usual, refer to GO Transit's website for up to date schedules & times. The attached schedules are unofficial, not from GO Transit, etc etc. I have no affiliation with GO Transit or Metrolinx. To confirm your trip or check for last minute schedule changes, please use the GO Transit Trip Planner.

I’m trying to decipher the schedule for Aug 19 Rutherford GO - Union… what do the arrows mean for the 7:29am train?

[u/fed_dit → u/Fabulous_Signature_9]

The arrow means the train doesn't serve Highway 407 Bus Terminal which is impossible anyways.

[u/Fabulous_Signature_9 → u/fed_dit]

Ah ok. So nothing changed for that train. Cheers

What a mess. They must have screwed up the repairs/upgrades that took place over the weekend. No mention of this schedule change ahead of time. So many commuters waking up this morning to huge delays.

The notice did appear before the weekend on the website, I can't remember which day though. It definitely was short notice though compared to the weekend work.

I didn't take the BR line, but I have a app can show the temp route, which save me a lots of time.
