Luggage rules differ between GO Transit commuter trains and VIA Rail Corridor trains on the Toronto to Oshawa route. Check the operator and fare shown on your ticket before travel.
Luggage Allowance
GO Transit allows passengers to bring personal items that can be kept with them without blocking aisles, doors, or seats. VIA Rail Corridor Economy commonly permits one personal item and one large article within published size and weight limits, with extra or oversized items subject to the fare rules shown for the train.

Folding bicycles, small sports equipment, and musical instruments must be carried so they do not block aisles or doors. Full-size bicycles on GO Transit are subject to peak-period restrictions, while VIA Rail bicycle acceptance depends on the train and baggage policy in effect for the selected departure.

Rail links Toronto Union Station directly with Oshawa Station, avoiding highway traffic on Highway 401 and the Don Valley Parkway approaches. GO trains run much more frequently than intercity buses on this short corridor, and VIA Rail can cover the station-to-station trip in just over half an hour. Flying is not a practical option for Toronto to Oshawa because there is no scheduled air route between the two cities. Electric GO rail service and shared intercity rail produce lower per-passenger emissions than private car travel on this corridor.
