Baggage
GO Transit baggage policy is that passengers are allowed to bring enough luggage that they can carry and manage without assistance. Animals on leases, strollers (foldable), bicycles are also allowed. GO’s FAQ explains this in further detail.
This policy, however, does not apply to rush hour times when trains are filled with passengers.
Some Kitchener Line trains have dedicated bicycle storage cars on the lower level. For those travelling with a bike, board the coaches next to the locomotive, the cars with bike storage are located next to the locomotive.

Classes
Pros
- Comfortable compared to driving on Highway 401, especially at rush hour.
- Strong peak-period service means that there are frequent rush hour trains.
- Very useful for 9-5 commuters.
- Excellent parking at Milton and other stations.
Cons
- Service is limited to peak direction only on rush hour with no weekend service.
- Not useful on weekends with the line not operating.
- Leaving the parking lot such as Milton can lead to bottlenecks.
Notes
- Given that the tracks the Milton Line operates on are owned by Canadian Pacific Kansas City, a freight railway, service expansion is unlikely.
