It's a GO in Stratford

By Steve Sabourin

October 18, 2021 - 10:01am

The first GO Train leaves the Stratford station Monday morning.

It's part of the Southwestern Ontario Regional Transportation Plan.

When you punch in the information into the GO Transit website, it shows a 6:43 a.m. departure from the Stratford VIA station with a 9:13 a.m. arrival time at Union Station in Toronto.

A one way trip for an adult is $25.

Excited to be riding the inaugural Go Train from @cityofstratford to Toronto tomorrow at 6:43 am. A great start for @Metrolinx & the Southwestern Ontario Regional Transportation Plan. pic.twitter.com/tmWktD89yH
