WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 15/09/2026If anybody received the limited edition Lake Ontario themed PRESTO card today and is interested in selling, please let me know! 043
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 08/09/2026The canopy above Platform 21 will be fully removed to make way for a new track and a widened Platform 24. Added to the station in the 1970s, the canopy isn’t subject to the same preservation regulations as the rest of the shed, making its removal possible 040
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Starting today, September 8th, 2026, Platform 21 at Toronto Union Station will be closing. The closure will facilitate an expanded work zone for the construction of Platforms 24–27, as well as the removal of the non-heritage designated 1970s canopy above Platform 21. 130
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Please do let me know whenever you get to it!! I’ll buy absolutely everything GO related off of you if you’re willing. 010
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 31/08/2026@photoblair.bsky.social - Hi! A bit of a random question, but a few years ago you showed me some vintage GO items on Twitter. I was wondering if you still happen to have any of those items? 110
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Renovations of Oshawa GO, one of GO Transit’s busiest stations, will be beginning soon! Planned upgrades include: • Platform canopies and heated shelters • Expanded south platform • Two new north platforms • Two new pedestrian bridges • Relocated and expanded bus loop 081
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Stratford GO Station opens for service tomorrow! A new station on the GO Transit Kitchener Line. A single daily round trip will run to and from Stratford. The schedule will facilitate day trips to Stratford on weekends, and commuter oriented travel towards Toronto on weekdays. 092
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Pretty much, it’s a list of 60 announcements and the operator decided to trigger all the required ones at once, instead of gradually throughout the trip. I don’t think there are any super hard guidelines for how the announcements have to be played, but all at once isn’t the correct way 110
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 23/05/2026The UP Express operates with four 3 car trains, and three 2 car trains, which is 18 pieces of equipment in total. 120
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 23/05/202659 years later, GO Transit now operates 3,567 weekly trips across 8 regional rail lines. The fleet has grown to 91 locomotives, 18 self-propelled railcars, and 979 double decker passenger coaches. A total of 430,000 people can be transported at once on the GO fleet. 2214
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 23/05/2026GO Transit service launched with 327 weekly trips on a single commuter rail line. To operate this service, a fleet of 8 locomotives, 9 self-propelled railcars, and 40 single-level passenger coaches were introduced. GO Transit was the first modern commuter rail service in Canada. 0112
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 23/05/2026In 1967 only one train went beyond Oakville during per hour during rush hour, so service is still significantly higher than what it was when the line opened, especially for the cities west of Oakville/Clarkson. 140
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Yep! Every announcement besides the ones that announce the arrival station are set off manually by a crew member onboard. 130
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Yep! Lorne Park was supposed to close down when GO Transit began, but heavy pushback from the community retained the station. One train stopped at the station per day, and the station itself ended up closing due to low ridership in 1968. 130
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 23/05/2026GO is currently running trains on the Lakeshore West Line every 8 minutes during rush hour, more than double the service that was running during the lines opening. 140
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Before service began, the MTARTS study was conducted, which looked over locations along Lake Ontario were suitable for new GO Transit stations. These were the considered locations along the proposed line, 1 station would be added, and 5 stations would ultimately be dropped before service began. 070
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 23/05/202659 years ago today, on May 23, 1967, the first GO Transit trains departed from Oakville and Pickering bound for Toronto Union Station. GO Transit began as a single commuter line, with trains every 20 minutes during rush hour, and every hour off-peak and on weekends. 43317
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 14/05/2026The upcoming renovation of this station does not seem to be tied with a third party developer, preventing this project from running into issues like the previous plan did in 2023. Current perspective of the station: 020
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 14/05/2026A preliminary render of the planned Mimico GO Station renovations was released Planned upgrades may include: • Partial length platform canopies and shelters • Elevator access to all platforms • New east pedestrian bridge & station entrance • New south station entrance 190
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Stratford GO Station reopens for service on July 6, 2026! One round trip will be extended from Kitchener GO per day. This is the 72nd GO Transit station, and the only GO Station to be located outside the Greater Golden Horseshoe region. 0235
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Renovations of Oakville GO, GO Transit’s 2nd busiest station, will be beginning soon! Planned upgrades include: • New partial length platform canopies and heated shelters • New pedestrian bridge • One additional elevator and staircase entrance per platform • Six new bus platforms 0100
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Happy April Fools!! For transparency, none of the graphics in this post are actually generated by artificial intelligence. The logo and map were done by hand. The filter covering the ai mock-generated map was available in the drawing software I used, which also doesn’t have any AI features. 040
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Introducing… WBai With the rapidly developing and exciting advancements of AI technology, as of today, this account is transitioning to WBai, outsourcing all research, map design, and quality control to the program. As seen below, a new era of transit history coverage is emerging… 370

WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Tomorrow, GO Transit will continue to run a significantly reduced rail service schedule on all lines due to derailment-related infrastructure damage, and restricted capacity in the Union Station Rail Corridor. Delays and cancellations are to be expected. 161

WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 30/01/2026I don’t think the plan is firm yet, the design changed a lot from the early 2020s to the diagrams released a few years ago, I wouldn’t be surprised if the design has been/will be updated again 110
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 30/01/2026Last year Metrolinx published an article about VR software they use, and in the screenshots and video is a model of Unions proposed reconfiguration. The video is blurry but shows basically the entire station and all the platform entrance locations. 110
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 30/01/2026In 2023 there was USEP documents showing the entire rail corridor post-modification released to the Toronto application information website, they’ve since been replaced with less detailed diagrams: 110
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 30/01/2026The rail platforms between Yonge Street and Lower Jarvis Street will see massive changes in the future. Going off multiple public sources, most platforms will be combined and widened. Some platforms could be extended by up to 350 metres east of their current location. 020
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 30/01/2026If you haven’t see them yet, these are the other sections of the station, from Lower Simcoe Street to Bay Street: 110
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 30/01/2026Layer 13 focuses on a portion of the Union Station rail platform level, between Yonge Street and Lower Jarvis Street: • Platforms 16-17 & 26-27 040
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 30/01/2026The rail platforms between Bay Street and Yonge Street will see massive changes in the future. Going off multiple public sources, most platforms will be combined and widened, at least 6 new staircases and 3 elevators will be added to improve crowd flow and accessibility. 1111
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 30/01/2026The next 4 maps for my Toronto Union Station Map Project are finished.

WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Line 5 Eglinton opens on February 8th! Line 5 will improve transit service along Eglinton Avenue, and act as Torontos second crosstown line. In the future, Line 5 could be extended to Pearson Airport and connected to multiple proposed and under construction transit lines. 1131
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 31/12/2025In 2025 I made 66 graphics and maps for the WB62 accounts, redesigned my infographics, and redid my profile branding I truly love doing this as a hobby, and I hope you learned something new from one of my posts this year! I couldn’t thank everyone enough for following me! 0132
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 23/12/2025GO Transit will be free again this year on New Years Eve from 7pm to 7am! 55 extra train trips and dozens of buses will depart Union Station after 12am All 8 lines and stations excluding St. Catharines & Niagara Falls will have service 1122
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 19/12/2025Last Wednesday all 3 levels of government announced that Kitchener Central GO Station is fully funded This integrated transit hub will be located on the Kitchener Line just west of the current GO station Once Kitchener Central GO opens, Kitchener GO will permanently close. 2212
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 13/12/2025Wrapping up the year with my collection of PRESTO cards reaching 33! This year a total of 10 limited edition PRESTO cards were released, the most special types of cards ever made in a single year. 020

WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Line 6 Finch West opens in just 4 days! Upon opening, Line 6 will have one connection to the existing network, at Finch West. In the future, this line could be extended to Pearson Airport, with 5 additional connections to other lines, building a stronger rapid transit network. 1172
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 03/12/2025Just for clarification, the Toronto city councillor is advocating for the Lakeshore-Midtown Line, not the Midtown Line, the LM Line was cut from the current provincial governments GO 2.0 map before it was revealed to the public. Traces of line can be seen on the map, which is why we know it exists: 131
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 29/11/2025Yesterday, an updated version of the GTHA in-delivery transit projects map was posted on LinkedIn. For the first time: all Regional Rail, Light Rail, and Subway Lines in the GTHA region are represented on one map, as well as all provincially funded or supported expansions. 4306
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 16/11/2025Today Mount Dennis GO Station opened, with trains between Downtown Toronto, Brampton-Kitchener and Pearson Airport on average every 10 minutes. This is one of many regional rail stations coming to the City of Toronto over the next decade, as GO Transit continues to expand. 0358
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 15/11/2025Mount Dennis GO Station opens for service tomorrow! A new hub for regional rail, light rail, and local buses in Toronto. This is the 71st GO Transit station, first to open on the Kitchener Line since 2013, and the first station added to the UP Express since its opening in 2015 150
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 13/11/2025To eliminate any confusion, I think Metrolinx is now committed to keeping high floor trains running on the line to Pearson. The St. Clair-Old Weston section of high platform is 130 metres long, at other stations it’s only 75 metres long. 120
WB62 @wb62.bsky.social · 13/11/2025Probably just extend the platform. By the time Metrolinx wants to Kitchener Line to stop here, the average GO train might be shorter than 315m 030
