St. Catharines, Ont. GO transit riders can return to routine. Train service resumed at St. Catharines GO station a week sooner than expected, provincial transit agency Metrolinx said in a news release. 

As CBC Hamilton previously reported, Metrolinx suspended nightly service at the station in early January due to construction CN Rail was doing on the Welland Canal Railroad Bridge. GO trains use that bridge too. 

On Thursday, Metrolinx announced construction had wrapped ahead of schedule and GO train service at the station would resume that day.

The reinstated trains are:

  • weekday westbound trips arriving at St. Catharines GO at 7:30 p.m. and 12:44 a.m. 

  • a weekday eastbound trip departing the station at 9:34 p.m. 

  • a weekend westbound trip arriving in at 6:55 p.m. 

  • a weekend eastbound trip departing at 8:46 p.m.
