How far west does Ontarios GO Train travel?

Okay, so, GO Train furthest west? Kitchener. That’s it. Definitely Kitchener GO.

I used it, June 12th last year, going to visit my aunt. Cost me about $25 each way, if I recall. Long trip, though.

The Kitchener line, right? It snakes its way west from Union Station in Toronto. Lots of stops.

Honestly, I always thought it went further, but Kitchener’s the end of the line. Crazy, right?

How far does the GO train go in Ontario?

Okay, lemme tell ya ’bout GO train adventures.

I distinctly recall a trip back in 2023, aimed to see my grandma. She lived wayyy out near Niagara Falls. It’s like, forever from Toronto.

That GO train chugged, right? I boarded at Union Station, smelly and loud. It felt like forever.

The view, though? Vineyards stretching, farmhouses blinking. It was… something. Hours. Definitely more than 2 hours.

  • West: Kitchener is as far west as I’ve gone on the train.
  • East: Never been to Peterborough that way.
  • North: Barrie, yeah, for some summer camp thing, ugh.
  • South: Obv, Niagara. My Grandma’s.

I’m pretty sure they say the GO covers like, a HUGE chunk of Southern Ontario. Hamilton to, uh, somewhere east. And north to like, Barrie. So much green, that’s all I remember. It feels like all of southern Ontario.

Is the GO train faster than driving?

GO trains: often faster. 140 km/h between stations. Saves 10 minutes, average.

Key Advantages:

  • Speed. High-speed rail.
  • Time savings. Consistent.
  • Reduced commute times. My personal experience: significant.

Caveats:

  • Station access. Limited.
  • Frequency. Variable. Peak hours packed. My 7:00 AM train: brutal.
  • Unexpected delays. Happens. Track maintenance. Signal problems.

Specific Data (2024):

  • Average speed increase: 10-20%, depending on route.
  • Peak hour delays: 5-15 minutes. Based on my observations.
  • Specific route times vary widely. Check the GO Transit website for schedules. Route 7, my usual, consistently performs well.

Is the GO train only in Ontario?

Yeah, GO train. Ontario only, right?

It’s just…Ontario. Only Ontario gets the GO train.

  • GO Transit: Only in the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
  • Geographic Range: Just Ontario, specifically.
  • Personal Note: Makes me think of trips I took to see Aunt Carol. Always took the GO train.
  • It is for Canada. Still.
  • It’s a regional system.
  • Thinking about Aunt Carol…she always…always liked the window seat.
  • Miss her stories. She’s…gone.
  • It really sucks, doesn’t it? That it’s over?
  • It always felt like it was just for us.
  • Us.
  • Public Transit: Regional in Ontario.
