TORONTO — GO Transit’s operating problems from a Monday derailment have extended into a fourth day, with the commuter rail service continuing to run a reduced schedule through at least the morning commute today (Thursday, Feb. 5).
The plans for this morning — and evening, if the issues continue — retain the pattern used on Wednesday:
Three lines — Lakeshore East, Lakeshore West, and Kitchener — will see service at 60-minute intervals, except for 15- to 30-minute headways during morning and evening peak periods. Three others — Milton, Stouffville, and Barrie — will see 30-minute morning and evening peak service, while the Richmond Line will see 60-minute morning and evening peak service. Details and updates will be available at the GO Transit website.
The issues stem from a Monday morning derailment as a train departed Toronto Union Station, damaging track and signal infrastructure [see “Low-speed derailment disrupts …,” Trains.com, Feb. 2, 2026]. While most trackwork is complete, the signal repairs are continuing, parent agency Metrolinx said in a Wednesday afternoon update, with impacts likely to “extend into the coming days.”
Metrolinx plans an update later today on plans for Thursday evening and Friday operations.
