GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

The only thing standing between us and half-hourly service from Toronto to Kitchener is the GO scheduling department

There are 2 trains per hour from Union to Bramalea and 2-3 buses per hour from Bramalea to Kitchener, but you can only connect from the train to the bus once per hour.

Looking at that schedule, I'm surprised by the cut to weekend trains from Kitchener to Mount Pleasant. Weren't they pretty vocal about having achieved weekend Kitchener service a few months ago?

yes lol, weekend trains to Kitchener literally just started a few weeks ago


that four trains per day service didn't last long...
 
This table is notorious being published with mistakes, I’m sure this is one of them

The December 20th schedule also has at least one mistake
People really need to use their brain and stop jumping to conclusions and spreading misinformation because you're right, the timetable was simply published in error (as has happened before). Those weekend trips introduced in November aren't being discontinued in January.
 
The two weekend Kitchener trains are still in the most recent GTFS feed (which was updated on Wednesday, when the new schedules were uploaded). In fact it appears they're running Christmas and Boxing Day, which makes sense since GO runs weekend service on stat holidays. As @WB62 said, early published schedules are known for having errors.

To expand on what @Allandale25 has said, GO is now saying Kitchener, Lakeshore West and Lakeshore East trains will be running hourly on weekend/stat holidays from the 21st to the 5th. Outside of rush hour on weekdays, Lakeshore East and West are also scheduled for hourly-only service (as seen in the PDFs).

Finally, according to the most recent GTFS feed, it looks like GO is treating January 2nd as a stat holiday for the rail network (buses are running on weekday schedules).
