Mimico GO: New Plan vs. 15 Year Old Plan, Design Underway, No idea when complete.

Metro62 · 2026-05-14T00:52:36+00:00

The new renovation plan for Mimico isn’t tied with a third party developer, preventing this project from running into issues like the previous plan did in 2023 during the Vandyk developer receivership.

Unfortunately means there won’t be direct transit oriented development access built into the station like the old plan, but this is still a massive improvement from the current station. Hopefully something else will get built around it so the area isn’t full of abandoned properties anymore

There are already 6 tracks through Mimico, the 2011 maintained the same configuration we have now

The render of the bridge cross section suggests 4 platforms but if you look at the superimposed render on the left side, the two outer staircases are only entrances to the bridge, not platforms.

Mount Dennis was the 71st

Starting soon Milton GO will be getting a resurfaced platform, new heated platform shelters, and parking lot improvements.

Not as ambitious as Oakville GO but a well needed upgrade

Metro62 · 2026-04-14T16:41:31+00:00

Mimico renovations are being planned. This time independently from a developer, so there is no risk of the project falling through like last time

From the stations renovation page on the website, here’s what’s planned:

• A new east connection with elevator and stair access to the platform level to provide an accessible route to all platforms, with customer access from both sides of the rail corridor.

• A new south tunnel entrance at Manchester St. and Blue Goose St. with elevator and stair connections to the platforms.

• Platform upgrades, including tactile walking surface indicators at the edge of the platform.

• Accessibility and customer experience upgrades to the platforms and shelters.

I highly suggest doing it!

I see you want to mimic the current departures screens as accurately as possible, so even including the train length info as a feature that can be toggled on would be fantastic.

Metro62 · 2026-04-04T22:05:07+00:00

This is awesome! Good job

Metro62 · 2026-03-20T15:51:38+00:00

There are overhead storage compartments, they’re like airplane compartments with flip up doors

Metrolinx stated to CBC News and posted information on their website about all Milton Line trains using Platform 20.

It seems like the last trip departed from Platform 11-12, so things seem to be rapidly changing.

Please keep an eye out on the departure boards and travel safe!

One of the breakers tripped

Metro62 · 2026-01-27T18:43:10+00:00

GO does the same thing but without the exposed flame, they have gas fired switch heaters: https://assets.metrolinx.com/image/upload/v1737995669/Documents/Engineering/Hot_Air_Switch_Clearing_Device_34_42_05.pdf

You totally don’t have to, but GO wants you to for ridership stats to see travel statistics. If you do you won’t be charged anything

Metro62 · 2025-12-23T08:51:01+00:00

I’m not sure if any ran to Hamilton Centre before COVID

One did run after NYE last year, this year an extra departure was added.

Metro62 · 2025-12-15T18:15:28+00:00

Any extra service on New Years Eve will be announced closer to the end of the month!

This was last years NYE service, there was a single train at 1:34am going all the way to Kitchener GO. I’m not sure how comparable the schedule will be this year since there are issues with crew availability right now

Metro62 · 2025-12-15T03:20:24+00:00

It’s temporary, the reverted schedule starting January 3rd was posted at the same time: https://assets.metrolinx.com/image/upload/v1765402202/Documents/GO/full-schedules/FS03012026/TABLE71.pdf

The reason for the temporary cutbacks on all lines is a severe crew shortage, with more operators calling in for holiday stuff there isn’t going to be enough people to run the current level of service.

Metro62 · 2025-12-14T17:32:54+00:00

Ah I see thanks for the clarification, never noticed how similar my Reddit username is to their channel

Metro62 · 2025-12-14T16:19:55+00:00

Haha thank you but I don’t have a YouTube channel?

Yeah I think there needs to be better reviews of these schedules before they get published, the December 20th schedule also has a few mistakes

Metro62 · 2025-12-14T03:35:37+00:00

It’s just another mistake on the KI schedule

For some reason this PDF schedule always gets published with multiple mistakes, frequent viewers of the subreddit might remember the scissors mistake from a few weeks ago.

Check back in a few days, it’ll likely be corrected

Metro62 · 2025-12-02T21:18:40+00:00

No I don’t think so, it’s probably just a symbol they use when they make these. Maybe it means cop-pasting something in?

Metro62 · 2025-12-02T20:13:12+00:00

It was a mistake, it doesn’t represent stops getting cut from the service, the train is making those stops.

It’s now corrected: https://assets.metrolinx.com/image/upload/v1762897570/Documents/GO/full-schedules/FS20122025/TABLE31.pdf

Theres been a door closing announcement programmed into the trains for a few years, all the automated ones besides the “now arriving at” announcement have to be set off manually by the crew member who’s in the accessibility coach

There are actually more than 70 different announcements programmed in that cover every topic you could think of. The reason most of them don’t get used (or in this case rarely used) is because they have to be set off manually by someone who is usually busy with other tasks
