Union Station
A better experience at the centre of our network.
A new Union Station is coming. A station that is more accessible and easier to navigate with wider platforms and less crowding. Union Station is the gateway to the region and is undergoing much needed modernization while preserving heritage features to meet transit needs now, and in the future. All this to expand capacity and run more trains through the largest transit hub in the GO rail system and bring two-way, all-day service every 15 minutes or better along core segments of the network.
This is the Union Station of tomorrow. The heart of the GO network, connecting Toronto to every part of the Greater Golden Horseshoe. And it’s happening right now.
Project overview
Union Station and the adjacent rail corridor are known collectively as the Union Station Rail Corridor (USRC). The USRC is 6.4 km long and consists of a complex network of tracks, passenger platforms and four control towers at Cherry Street, Scott Street, John Street and Bathurst Street. It has 14 station tracks with platform access, and more than 180 signals, 250 switch machines, 40 km of circuited track and all associated infrastructure.
There are multiple projects underway at Union Station, all working towards the same goal - preparing the Union Station Rail Corridor for GO Expansion service levels.

Benefits
New reconfigured platforms and more convenient access to the concourses, as well as increased service levels across the network, will allow trains to move through this critical hub faster and more efficiently.
With these improvements, GO will better serve the thousands of passengers who travel to and from Union Station each day, making the station less crowded, more convenient and comfortable for customers. It’s all part of how we’re building a better transit experience to meet the demands of our rapidly growing region and get you where you need to go.
