Metrolinx has announced the expansion of the Go Transit rail service on the Georgetown GO line to Acton. The two morning and two evening trains are scheduled to begin service by the end of 2011. Metrolinx made the announcement on Friday.

“As a former Metrolinx board member, I would like to thank Metrolinx for expanding the Georgetown Go line into Acton,” said Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr. “Halton Region is a growing community, and increased GO train service to Halton Hills is the type of infrastructure investment needed in Halton.”

The expansion of the rail service is part of GO Transit’s expansion from Georgetown to Kitchener-Waterloo, which includes stops in Guelph and Acton. An Environmental Assessment for this expansion was completed in 2009 and approved by the Minister of the Environment in January 2010.
