The union said the deal addresses its concerns about safety and contracting-out issues, and members are expected to vote to ratify the contract in the coming days.
Metrolinx said it was pleased the two sides had reached the tentative three-year agreement.
The cancellation of GO bus service had caused headaches for thousands of commuters. GO trains continued to run and stations remained open.
