Guelph, Ontario railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guelph station is a railway station in Guelph, Ontario. It is served by six VIA Rail trains daily (three in each direction) running between Sarnia and Toronto.
[edit] History
Built in 1911, the station is a classic example of early 20th Century Canadian railway station design and has been designated as a heritage structure per the Railway Station Protection Act. It is located in the city's downtown core at 79 Carden Street at the corner of Wyndham Street, and is convenient to city buses and adjacent to an intercity bus terminal. Parking is free, and the station is staffed and wheelchair-accessible.
Guelph was in the past also served by GO Transit trains, but provincial cutbacks in 1993 led GO to pull back the railway service to Georgetown. GO still serves Guelph with buses, which depart from the adjacent bus terminal and sometimes from the University of Guelph, and then interchange with trains at Georgetown.
