“As the result of developing safety incidents near Guildwood GO & Kipling GO stations, GO Train service on the Lakeshore East & Milton corridors is suspended. We are currently working on contingency plans to get customers home & will provide an update shortly. Given the way our trains operate through our network, this situation has the potential to disrupt customers throughout our entire system. Also, given the potential for system-wide delays, it is very likely Union Station will experience significant crowding during rush hour. Safety is our top priority & central to everything we do. We’re bringing in additional resources and are doing the absolute best we can given the situation. We know how inconvenient this is and we ask for everyone’s patience. It’s important to note, we are working closely with our public safety partners and are closely monitoring the situation. We promise to regularly update service information on GOtransit.com, on twitter and our line specific handles and through email alerts.”
