The Province of Ontario has decided to renege schedule amendments it had planned for Toronto 's UP Express train the very same day they were announced, thanks to a flurry of complaints from riders

The changes would have seen every second train on the line travel non-stop between Union Station and Pearson Airport, with an increase in GO Train service making up for the lost stops at Weston and Bloor. The intention was to provide those using the line to travel to and from the airport — the original reason it was built —"a more direct and convenient option for airport transfers seven days a week," the province wrote amidBut, commuters who board the UP regularly from those two middle stops were disgruntled with the move, to say the least, arguing that it was a clear reduction when schedules should be ramped up, if anything.

Cmon Ford, really ? This is terrible service coming into summer months. Less service to Bloor & Weston. These are only 2 stops between Union & Pearson. A huge blow to the UP line!While some are happy with the reversal, others seem to feel that it was only a select few who had an issue with the change, and pointed out that the Kitchener GO covers both stops, and will now be running more frequently.

The other improvements announced as part of the GO expansion, which will hopefully yield few complaints, come into effect on April 28, 2024.Neurotoxic carnivorous worms have invaded Ontario and could harm your petsThe cherry blossoms have started to bloom at Trinity Bellwoods ParkHere are all the parts of the TTC where trains may now crawl at painfully slow speeds
