There will be an ION service disruption on Monday, Nov. 11 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will be no ION light rail service between Grand River Hospital Station and Mill Station during this time. Shuttle buses will replace ION light rail service.

Remembrance Day ceremonies will be taking place at the Kitchener Cenotaph at Frederick and Duke Streets. The overhead lines that power the system will be de-energized on the northbound track for the duration of the event.

Trains will continue to run between Conestoga Station and Grand River Hospital Station, and between Mill Station and Fairway Station.

Routes 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 204 will be on detour from the start of service until 2 p.m. on Nov. 11. View details on our Detours page.

Because of the short length of the disruption, GRT's trip planning tools, including the EasyGO app, trip planner and Next Bus Call/Text will continue to show ION departure times. This will also affect other apps and trip planning tools, such as Google Maps.

ION replacement shuttle buses

Shuttle buses will operate between Grand River Hospital Station and Mill Station. Shuttle buses will stop at 301R ION Replacement Shuttle stops marked with a red stop marker.

Shuttle service will not operate on Duke Street; customers planning to board at Frederick and Kitchener City Hall Stations will board shuttles on Charles Street.

Because this is a planned service disruption, regular fares will apply.
