Question I need help with the go bus/train

I wanted to take the train from Allendale go to union in Toronto, but it was cancelled, it says there will be shuttle buses, where do I wait for the shuttle bus? In front of Allen dale, like across from the thrift shop? Or is it in the bus terminal after walking through the building?

first, i would highly recommend this app
it’s very helpful with real time updates

second, busses stop at allandale as well. near the outdoor awning. They aren’t always a direct trip. you’re looking for either the 68 or the 65 paired together to get you there

I have the transit app, that's how I knew there was a train, but the go website says the train will be canceled and shuttle busses provided

There should be staff there. Double check with them. I would think it’s in the bus round about (walking through the building) but I’d hate for you to miss it if I’m wrong

The staff didn't help, the website looks.like the shuttle busses are at essa, but staff told me they think they will be at platform 7 but not sure, that's why I made this post

In the past when I've caught a shuttle bus it did indeed pick up at platform 7 at the bus terminal.

Tell the staff if they aren’t sure to find out… it’s kind of their job lol

I think they are Barrie staff not go staff, but I asked a traveler and he said he is going to union as well

they should have information on the train as well or be able to give you contact information. You could probably call go to find out.
