- April 19, 2015 - All service is rerouted onto Highway 407 between Jane Street and Yonge Street due to vivaNext construction along Highway 7.

- April 30, 2017 - Service was rerouted onto Highway 400 during the 2017 season.
- April 5, 2020 - Service is temporarily suspended for the season due to lower ridership and the closure of Canada's Wonderland as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
