Metrolinx is bringing faster, more frequent service to the Kitchener Line. Construction is now underway on projects that will make way for improvements to rail infrastructure along the line. This includes the Heritage Road Layover (train storage), a vital project supporting GO Expansion on the Kitchener Line. Once complete, the facility will provide storage for three 12-car GO trains, allowing for longer trains during peak periods. This will increase seat capacity and accommodate future ridership growth.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
In April 2025 crews will mobilize at the project site to prepare for the construction of a new train storage area. The work involves:
- Installation of storm sewers, a watermain, concrete surfacing and asphalt paving
- Construction and erection of a crew/staff building, a waste disposal building, an electrical
sub-station and associated electrical components and yard lighting
