Weekend GoTrain Service to Newmarket/Aurora!

If you didn't know, it is now possible to catch the GoTrain to and From Toronto in Newmarket/Aurora on weekends and Holidays.
Between June 23, 2012 and September 3, 2012, GoTransit (Government of Ontario Transit) is doing a pilot GoTrain schedule along the Barrie line.
My guess is that they will continue if they see the usage, but it appears to be here just for the Summer (for now).

Here is some details on the Service:

It appears that there will be 2 trains that will do the entire route from Barrie to Toronto and run up and down all day, 6 times. However, will only run all the way to Barrie twice, stopping and turning around at the East Gwillimbury Station on Green Lane 4 of the 6 times.

This train line services: Allandale go Station (Barrie) -> Barrie South Go station -> Bradford Go Station -> East Gwillimbury (EG) Go Station -> Newmarket GoTrain Station -> Aurora Go Station -> King City Go Station -> Maple Go Station -> Rutherford Go Station -> York University Go Station -> Union Station (Toronto)
