The union representing some 2,200 GO Transit workers says its members have ratified a new tentative agreement with Metrolinx, 'finalizing the three-year contract.'

A Metrolinx spokesperson says the agency was gathering final numbers Monday but estimated that between two and three per cent of staff were on leave.

Bombardier's rail division says Ontario's GO Transit system will be getting 125 additional two-level commuter rail cars to be produced over a two-year period at its factory in Thunder Bay, Ont.
