"I am thrilled to see the infrastructure planning contract go ahead, so that we can finally connect our community to the rest of the GTA through GO Transit." Project has been talked about for years "I want to thank the Ontario government for their determination to complete the Bowmanville GO extension and strengthen the economic potential of Clarington and Durham Region," said Clarington Mayor Adrian Foster. The plan comes in preparation for the 19,000 people the province expects will live within 800 metres of a station along the extension line by 2041. The Lakeshore East Line GO Expansion as a whole will provide 15-minute or better service all day in both directions between Oshawa and Union Station, with peak weekday service being every 30 minutes between Bowmanville and Union Station, the province says.

He added the extension will bring four new proposed GO stations into the region. "This GO train extension will be a huge boost for the people and the businesses of Durham Region," said Ford at a news conference Thursday. When the project is completed, the province says it will reduce average travel time from Bowmanville to Union Station by 15 minutes, will include new signals, seven new bridges and at-grade crossing upgrades, and is projected to carry nearly 17,000 daily trips and 4.9 million annual boardings by 2041.
