A post on the GO Transit website is advising customers to “plan ahead and give yourself extra time.”

Passengers should check the service updates page before travelling, along with the departure boards at stations, the post said.

They can also follow GO Transit Twitter accounts for updates or sign up for On The GO Alerts.

The GO Transit website said that the Oshawa GO 07:55 – Union Station 08:55 train and the Kitchener GO 07:15 – Union Station 08:58 trains were cancelled Monday.
