Starting on June 23, we will offer a GO Bus shuttle between St. Catharines and Niagara-on-the-Lake. The bus will meet the trains departing from Toronto in St. Catharines and will operate express to downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake; the return shuttle trips will meet Toronto-bound trains in St. Catharines. Check back closer to the date for the schedule.

Taxis

In Niagara Falls, taxi stands are located at the station and across the street at the Niagara Falls Transit Terminal.

In Toronto, taxi stands are located on Front Street just outside of Union Station.

Walking

From the Niagara Falls VIA Rail station, it takes about 40 minutes to walk (along River Rd.) to Clifton Hill, near the Falls. 

From Union Station, you can walk to any number of downtown Toronto attractions, such as the CN Tower, Rogers Centre, Air Canada Centre, Hockey Hall of Fame, Roy Thompson Hall and much more.

Every Saturday, Sunday and holiday excursion train will include two bike coaches.

The bike coaches are specially-designed rail cars for passengers' bicycles. These rail cars are located sixth and seventh from the locomotive and can hold 18 bikes on the lower level. Riders are encouraged to bring a lock to secure their bikes while they enjoy the comfortable ride on the upper levels.

Please note that the special bike coaches will be available on the Niagara train service on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, but not on the Friday evening service.

All regular coaches can hold two bikes each. We ask that passengers keep doorways clear of bicycles. These areas are marked with a “no bike permitted” sign. Also, bikes are not permitted on the wheelchair-accessible car due to space limitations. For more information about bikes on our regular GO service, please check out the cycling section of our Leave your car at home page.

If you are traveling by bus, bike racks on the front of all GO Buses can accommodate two bicycles. Availability is on a first come, first served basis.

The travel time between Union Station and Niagara Falls will take about two hours, passing through many townships and over the Welland Canal.

While every effort will be made to get you there on time, customers may experience delays because of the single track shared by GO, freight, and VIA trains through this corridor, as well as the ships passing through the Welland Canal. We recommend that you bring a snack and a bottle of water while on board this train trip for your own comfort.

For safety reasons, we remind passengers to please store your baggage underneath your seat and to not block passage ways or aisles.

All trips and stations along the Niagara route are fully accessible. For detailed information about GO’s accessible service, visit the Accessibility page.

Passengers requiring accessible local transit connections should contact the local agencies for more information on available services:
