National rail shutdown suspends commuter service on GO train line [Video]

Commuters heading into Toronto from the west could be facing a travel dilemma Thursday as the effects of a historic freight rail lockout also bite on passenger services.

Travellers who usually head in and out of the city on Metrolinx’s Milton GO train, and a small portion of its Hamilton GO train route, will find service suspended because of rail-sharing agreements.

All trains on the Milton line are suspended “due to the interruption of rail traffic services provided by Canadian Pacific Kansas City,” Metrolinx said. Meanwhile, service on the Lakeshore West line will terminate at West Harbour GO, around 1.5 kilometres east of its Hamilton GO terminus.

Some bus schedules have also been adjusted, the transit system said.
