Following a recent train derailment that disrupted commuter services, GO Transit has announced a modified schedule for Tuesday to address the impact on multiple transit lines. The incident, which occurred when a train departing Union Station derailed on Monday morning, caused delays and cancellations, leading to commuter chaos throughout the day.
Metrolinx CEO Michael Lindsay provided updates on the situation, mentioning that the derailed train has been successfully put back on the tracks and is scheduled to be relocated within the next few hours. Lindsay assured passengers that a modified service plan will be in effect to accommodate the maximum number of train trips during peak periods on busy lines.
While no injuries were reported during the derailment, passengers on the affected Kitchener-bound train were promptly transferred to another train. Lindsay emphasized that safety inspections are ongoing to determine the cause of the incident, with results to be shared transparently once available. Despite the disruptions, Lindsay expressed confidence in the continued safety of GO Transit services for riders.
For further details on the modified service schedule, passengers are encouraged to visit the GO Transit website. Lindsay extended his gratitude to the dedicated staff working tirelessly to resolve the situation, apologizing to commuters for the inconvenience caused by the disruption.
