How much faster would GO trains be if they used electric trains, and had frequent two way, all day express trains? Today, the 50.7km trip from Oshawa to Union Station makes 9 stops and takes 63 minutes. Our proposed express service would make 9 stops, and take 37 minutes

How much faster would GO trains be if they used electrical multiple unit (EMU) trains? Today, a 33.7km trip from Pickering to Union station makes 6 stops and takes 45 minutes Our proposed local EMU service would make 13 stops, and take only 36 minutes.

Imagine taking a direct train from Durham College in Whitby all the way to the future Sheppard East Station in Scarborough. Wouldn’t that be amazing? Unfortunately, this isn’t in the works but we decided to draft some ideas for the rail line options.

Today the fate of Pickering International Airport has officially been sealed, and will not be built. But did you know there has been dozens of proposals to bring GO Transit rail service to the proposed Airport? These are the 4 most interesting proposals that never happened:

Jan 8, 1995: @GOtransit officially opens the 2.7 mile extension of its Lakeshore East corridor from Whitby to Oshawa. The Lakeshore East corridor had previously been extended to Whitby in 1988, from its original eastern terminal at Pickering. 1/3
A photo of the first GO Transit train to depart from Oshawa on January 8, 1995. From page three of the January 11, 1995 issue of the Bowmanville Canadian Statesman. The caption reads: "'all aboard for Pickering GO Station,'" was a call that many people took advantage of on Sunday, Jan. 8, at the Oshawa GO Station near Thornton at Bloor. Almost 1,000 Oshawa residents and other Durham Region citizens attended the 30-minute ceremony and took the free GO train ride to Pickering. Just prior to the free ride, an engine burst through a large banner to open the newly-improved service to Oshawa and other communities on the easter boundaries of Durham Region."
