This includes implementing overhead electrification, upgrading train control systems, and expanding tracks and structures along the corridors to allow for 6,000 weekly train trips. These infrastructure improvements will complement the billions of dollars of GO Expansion Early Works projects already underway or complete, as well as planned work renovating existing stations, building new stations and extending the GO rail network to places like Bowmanville in the future.
The contract is in a multi-year procurement process, and the bids closed on Nov. 30.
Two proponent teams, EnTransit and ONxpress Transportation Partners, have submitted their proposals.
Each team brings together international firms with extensive experience building and running frequent electric regional rail networks outside North America with local partners.
