According to GO Transit's website, several early morning trains between Kitchener Go and Union Station have been cancelled due to track repairs. It said an eastbound train will run from Acton Go from 8:45 a.m., making all stops to Union except at Etobicoke North GO, and another eastbound train will run from Mount Pleasant Go around 8:42 a.m.
A preliminary investigation into the incident found the derailment happened because nine screws holding down rail fastenings on part of the track leading into Union Station gave way under fatigue, Metrolinx CEO Michael Lindsay said. These lag screws should be fastened by four screws in the plate. At this particular location they were fastened by two, he said, citing the latest track standards, updated in 2016.
On weekends of 10/11, 17/18 and 24/25 January 2026, the Brighton Main Line will be closed between Gatwick Airport and Purley / East Croydon, as well as its branches between Reigate and Redhill and between Redhill and Tonbridge. Replacement buses will be in operation along most of the sections where trains are not running. Buses will also be running to link Three Bridge or Gatwick Airport to/from East Grinstead from where frequent trains will be running in and out of central London via East Croydon.
