The Hamilton GO Centre 6:55 a.m. train has been replaced with GO bus service that will be making all station stops to Port Credit GO, customers can connect with train service to Union Station.
The West Harbour GO 7:13 a.m. train will start at Burlington GO with a departure time of 7:31 a.m., making all station stops to Union Station.
Very sad to confirm that the person struck by the GO train early this morning did not survive. Thinking about the crew & our passengers, as well as the loved ones who will receive such awful news today. First responders are on site & service recovery plan is in place with buses https://t.co/RY5dXPGXyb
