More weekday rush hour Go Train express trips have been added to the Lakeshore line as of Monday morning.
Metrolinx says the express routes will bypass Exhibition, Mimco, Long Branch and Port Credit stations on their way to Union Station from Hamilton.
Two additional Monday through Friday Oshawa bound trips will depart Hamilton GO Centre at 5:51 a.m. and 6:21 a.m., arriving at Union Station at 7 a.m. and 7:30 a.m.
Meanwhile, the additional westbound trips will depart Union Station at 3:47 p.m. and 5:47 p.m., arriving at Hamilton GO Centre at 4:58 p.m. and 6:58 p.m.
The transit agency says the change will shorten trips by about 20 minutes out of Hamilton.
Stops will continue to be made by the route in Burlington, Oakville and Mississauga.
The changes have altered some existing Lakeshore West service, including the 5:30 p.m. westbound trip from Union Station to Hamilton GO Centre, which now departs 30 minutes earlier at 5 p.m., making all stops, and arriving at Hamilton GO Centre at 6:24 p.m.

There is no GO train service at St. Catharines station until spring 2023 due to track work.

On weekends, Oshawa bound trips from Niagara Falls will also be adjusted, with both trips departing three minutes later.
