Ontario proposes new Northlander train service between Toronto and Timmins, with first runs likely in early 2026.
Ontario has unveiled a proposed schedule for the reimagined Northlander train service linking Timmins and Toronto, covering 740 km with stops in several northern communities.
Southbound trains would arrive in Toronto at 10:55 a.m., while northbound departures from Union Station would be at 6:30 p.m., reaching Timmins at 5:10 a.m. the next day.
A new station in Timmins is under construction with accessible features and phased completion to allow early service.
Track upgrades, including a $5.7-million bypass near North Bay, may cut travel time by up to 15 minutes.
Final launch depends on new train sets arriving in early 2026 and subsequent testing.
Ticket prices remain undetermined, with officials committed to consulting communities on affordability.
The project is seen as key to economic growth, tourism, and regional connectivity.
