The transit agency cautioned riders of potential service disruptions on Sunday, though it provided few details regarding the nature of the labor shortages.
Metrolinx has issued a warning to GO Transit passengers that rail service could face delays and cancellations on Sunday due to "crew constraints" affecting the broader network.
According to reporting from CityNews Toronto, a statement released by Metrolinx staff on Sunday afternoon indicated that certain train trips across the network might be modified or cancelled entirely. While the agency alerted the public to the disruptions, CityNews Toronto noted that Metrolinx staff did not provide further elaboration on the specific nature or the extent of the crew shortages, nor was it immediately clear which specific trips would be impacted.
Earlier on Sunday, Metrolinx indicated that the Lakeshore East and Lakeshore West lines would operate with 30-minute service for the day. However, a subsequent afternoon update from the agency reversed this decision, stating that the reduced frequency would no longer occur. Under typical weekend operations, trains run on 15-minute intervals starting in the afternoon.
Metrolinx expressed gratitude for customer patience during the disruptions and advised riders to monitor the GO Transit service updates website for the most current information.
