While the roads and other public transit services were hampered by the weather, the GO system was unscathed, he said. By the end of 2019, GO trains’ on-time performance running number was rounded at just under 93 per cent, he said. That’s likely to improve this year, thanks to the upgrades Fuller and his team started working on right after the end of last winter. The train’s tank has an automatic blowdown with a small heating circuit, but it can fail during freezing temperatures. He did not disclose the cost of these upgrades, only saying it was within their budget.
