-
GO Tracker (GO Tracker mobile site) remains the go-to real-time departures and trip status tool for GO Transit. It provides live train departure boards, arrival updates, delays, and which trains are express vs. all-stop, all updated in real time. This resource is designed to help you plan around current conditions at Union or your home station [sources: Metrolinx GO Tracker overview].

A notable derailment incident near Union Station in early February 2026 caused significant service disruptions and a modified (special) schedule across multiple GO lines. While the derailed train was removed and normal operations began to resume, schedules remained impacted for at least a couple of days as crews repaired the track and signal systems. Metrolinx and local outlets reported ongoing delays and the implementation of a special schedule during that period [sources: CBC News Canada, CP24, CTV News].

By February 6, 2026, Metrolinx and GO Transit indicated that service was returning closer to normal but that some Friday service would still experience impacts while the system fully recovered from the derailment-related damages. Riders were advised to check GO Transit’s service alerts and GO Tracker for the latest updates before traveling [sources: CBC News, GO Transit service alerts pages].
What you can do now to stay up to date:
- Check GO Tracker on your phone or the GO Transit website for real-time arrivals, delays, and platform assignments for your station.
- Review GO Transit’s Service Alerts page for current warnings, line-by-line impacts, and any planned service changes.
- If you’re commuting near Union Station, monitor local news briefly each morning in case of any lingering effects on schedules.
Would you like me to pull the most current GO Tracker status for a specific station or line (e.g., Lakeshore East, Union, or Oshawa) and summarize any active delays? I can compile the latest departures and any anticipated service changes based on the most recent alerts.
