From November 10 to 15, customers can join in on the festivities aboard the GO Diwali Train along the Kitchener line in a Diwali themed coach adorned with vibrant Diwali colours inside and out. Customers will be welcomed by a warm, inviting atmosphere, with lively Bollywood dancers, the melodious sounds of traditional music, and exciting celebratory giveaways to keep the festive energy flowing.
