GO Expansion

Common card · No. 228513

GO Expansion, previously known as GO Regional Express Rail (RER), is an ongoing project to improve GO Transit train service by adding all day two-way service to the inner portions of the Barrie line, Kitchener line and the Stouffville line, and by increasing frequency of train service on various lines to every 15 minutes or better on five of the corridors. This would be achieved with the electrification of the Lakeshore East line and Lakeshore West line, and include the deployment of new electric multiple-unit trainsets, with the legacy fleet for both lines being moved to their neighbouring counterparts. The project would require 150 kilometres (93 mi) of new track, including new bridges and tunnels. GO Expansion is one of the Big Move rapid transit projects. In 2018, the project was expected to be completed in 2032 at a cost of $32 billion. As of 2025, an internal Metrolinx report revised the completion date to about 10 years later.
