Weekend Lakeshore West Go Train Disruption

[argofandave]

I just heard on the news that there will be disruptions to the Go Train service on weekends which will affect the 3 remaining Saturday home games for the Argos. Work is being done on bridges between Mimico and Exhibition which means that the eastbound trains will NOT stop at those 2 stations. Somehow, the eastbound train will go from Long Branch to the Milton line then to Union. People on the eastbound train wanting to get off at Exhibition will have to go to Union then take the westbound train to Exhibition since westbound trains will still go to Exhibition. There will also be a reduction from 2 trains per hour to 1. I hope I got this right.

Why?
The west bound trains will go direct to Union station and then fans can get the west bound train to Exhibition, it's one stop.

They are also running trains only hourly, rather than every half-hour. So depending on when a detoured eastbound train gets to Union, there might be a long wait there for a westbound train heading back to Exhibition.

Then Drive - It's a Saturday, we get there early, park at Ontario Place because it's easy to get in and out.

I saw that too. Considering driving to the games but the traffic, Saturday or not, is pretty heavy coming from Stratford. But really, it's only one more stop.
