Metrolinx explains temporary GO service changes
Metrolinx GO service changes stemmed from World Cup staffing decisions that boosted tournament service, then led to later cuts and schedule shifts.
Metrolinx CEO Michael Lindsay said temporary GO service changes that took effect in September were linked to earlier adjustments made to boost service during the World Cup.
According to the report, vacations were paused and training was delayed so more crews could be available during the tournament. CBC says those staffing decisions helped support expanded service at the time, but contributed to later cuts and schedule changes.
The piece is a short news explainer from CBC that outlines what is known so far about the service disruptions and the reason Metrolinx gave for them.
