Getting There

.There is good news and bad news.

The good news is that there is a train from Union Station to Brampton then a bus from there to Orangeville. The trip out is an hour and a half; not too shabby. The trip back is closer to two hours.

The bad news is that there is only one run out in the morning and one run back in the afternoon.

No Wait! There’s more bad news (maybe). That trip back does not translate into a train trip; so it is probably a bus (what else?!!) and that may be why it is seventeen minutes longer.

Still, that gives me eight hours in Orangeville, which is enough time to travel all three bus routes and walk the main street.

Note that Orangeville Transit ends at 6:15 p.m. so I must make sure that I am back at the GO bus stop by then. This may reduce my time for exploration.

Looking Good!

Restaurants

The eternal question: Do I take a picnic lunch or travel light and eat out?

Placing a Boston Pizza so close to the GO Bus stop could spell disaster.

For me.
