On April 17, 2026, Ontario announced it was extending GO Train service to Stratford, effective July 6, 2026, with one daily round trip to support workers, students and tourism. The announcement came as a surprise to municipal elected officials.

Transport Action Ontario board member Ken Westcar has written an op-ed on this service extension, noting there are problems and opportunities.
