Hamilton 
Burlington
Bronte
Oakville
Clarkson
Lorne Park
Port Credit
Long Branch
Mimico
Toronto Union Station

Line was first GO Transit service to operate, the line spanned from the cities of Hamilton to Pickering,
running through Downtown Toronto, making 16 stops.

Service on this line and GO Transit as a whole officially began operation on the 23rd of May, 1967”
