[edit] History
In 2002, with infrastructure funding from the provincial government, GO Transit expanded the station's parking lot capacity from 111 spaces to 255. [1]
During 2004, the platform was extended in order to accommodate longer trainsets, thus removing any boarding restrictions that GO Transit had with this station prior to opening the extended rail platform. In addition, the extension also allowed GO Transit to free their trains from blocking a railroad crossing on Station Road.
Construction of a covered station building was completed in the summer of 2005, and a second parking lot on the west side of the tracks was opened in February 2006.[2]
Bus connections are made at the intersection of Station Road and Keele Street.
