Train service will be increased on GO Transit’s Milton line in the new year.

A train is being added to the morning and afternoon peak periods and will serve all nine stations on the Milton line starting Jan. 5, adding about 1,500 seats for commuters.

The new morning trip is scheduled to leave Milton at 8:30 a.m., arriving at Union Station at 9:30 a.m. The new evening trip will leave Union Station at 3:40 p.m., arriving in Milton at 4:38 p.m., the Ministry of Transportation announced Tuesday.

The added trips are expected to ease crowding along the Milton line, which GO Transit estimates accommodates about 30,000 boardings each weekday.
