GO station upgrade set to save Ontario commuters 15 minutes per round trip [Video]

Metrolinx, the agency that operates Ontario’s GO Transit system, announced Wednesday that construction at West Harbour GO Station in Hamilton is now complete. The province also said an upgrade at the station will allow more than 250,000 travellers in Niagara Falls and St. Catharines to save time.
