Alternate Title
  • Go transit service to Toronto from Georgetown will begin April 29; with three trains each morning and afternoon. A work train is preparing to leave the Georgetown station; which combines a 100-year-old part with brand-new GO Facilities; as a freight rumbles its way past. The GO trains will not remain overnight in Georgetown; because of the noise; but will be sent back to Toronto for maintenance.
