Metrolinx says there will be no GO train service on the Lakeshore East line this weekend for critical track maintenance work.
The closure will begin Friday, Aug. 11 at around 9:30 p.m. and last all day Saturday and Sunday.
Regular service is expected to resume on Monday, Aug. 14.
GO buses will only replace train service at Durham College Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering GO, and Union Station Bus Terminal.
The buses will not be available at Rouge Hill, Guildwood, Eglinton, Scarborough or Danforth GO stations.
Metrolinx said TTC will provide service to customers travelling between Rouge Hill-Danforth and Union station.
However, Metrolinx warns that buses do not have the same capacity as trains.
“Shuttle buses may experience longer than normal travel times,” the transit agency said.
Metrolinx added that customers can use other GO Transit options such as GO bus routes 92 or 96 to connect with local transit.
“These temporary changes are critical for track maintenance near Whitby GO, bridge rehabilitation at Rouge River + Birchmount Road, Stouffville rail corridor expansion and platform work at Eglinton GO,” the transit agency said.
