GO Transit Maintains Modified Schedule After Toronto Train Derailment
GO Transit has announced that its services will remain on a modified schedule following a train derailment near Union Station in Toronto. The incident, which occurred on February 2, 2026, led to significant disruptions for commuters.
Details of the Train Derailment
The derailment happened as a GO train was departing Union Station at low speed. It made contact with a track switch, causing signal system failures throughout the network. This incident affected thousands of passengers, leading to extended delays on the Lakeshore East and West lines.
Recovery Efforts and Impact on Services
According to Metrolinx, the train was successfully returned to the tracks and most of the necessary repairs to the track infrastructure have been completed. However, repairs to the signal system have been extensive and will require additional time.
