GO Transit
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.
Bicycles
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 trip
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.
