Despite being on the CN Uxbridge Subdivision and preceding operators dating to the 19th century, there was never a station near this location.

Facilities

GO Transit does not provide any parking at the station. Pay parking is available in the adjacent TTC and City of Toronto parking lots.

There is no permanent station building, only shelters along the platform. There is no staffed ticket booth; tickets are purchased from vending ticketing machines only.

As of 2020, Metrolinx is making the following station improvements:[3]

  • A new station building and entrance on the east side of the tracks.
  • A second track and platform with a connecting pedestrian tunnel.
  • Platform canopies and platform snowmelt systems.
  • Accessibility improvements.
  • New passenger pick up and drop off area.
