TORONTO, - Visitors to Niagara Falls will have another way to get there this summer - by GO Train. For the first time, GO Transit will run seasonal weekend and holiday train service to Niagara Region starting Saturday, June 27. Ontario Minister of Transportation Jim Bradley announced this special service at a news conference in Niagara Falls in May.
The excursion service will offer four train trips daily in each direction on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from June 27 through to Thanksgiving weekend, October 12. The two-hour trip will run between Union Station in downtown Toronto, Port Credit GO Station, Oakville GO Station, Burlington GO Station, St. Catharines VIA Rail station, and Niagara Falls VIA Rail station. An adult single ride fare from Union Station to Niagara Falls will be $15.90.
"This new GO rail service will bring tourists to Niagara's wineries, restaurants, and attractions such as the incomparable Niagara Falls. Our government is expanding public transit across the province, making investments that build our economic infrastructure and put people to work," said Minister Bradley.
GO's new service offers visitors another alternative to driving to this popular destination area. To make it convenient for weekend and holiday outings, families and groups traveling to or from Niagara Falls will have the option of staying overnight on a Group Pass.
"Expanding to this new service area presents a unique opportunity for us and for visitors to both Niagara and Toronto," said GO Transit Managing Director Gary McNeil. "GO is a comfortable, convenient way to travel and we're excited to be launching this service in time for the busy summer season."

GO also recently announced weekday and weekend bus service to Niagara Falls starting this September. Bus fares will be the same as the train fares and a full schedule will be available soon.
