The Langstaff GO Station is a train and bus station in the GO Transit network located in Richmond Hill, Ontario in Canada. It is a stop on the Richmond Hill line train service.
In May, 2005 construction of a new and more modern station building in the north parking lot was completed, replacing the existing station building at Langstaff Road, thus to be converted to a waiting room after the new station building opened for service on June 6, 2005.
Langstaff Road East was the original routing of Ontario Provincial Highway 7 between Yonge Street and Bayview Avenue. When the former Highway 7 was upgraded, an overpass was constructed over the Canadian National Railway tracks, and the area north of Langstaff road became a large commuter parking lot. With the recent construction of Highway 407, the south lot was reduced in size, but newer developments north of the former Highway 7, led to the building of the new terminal.
YRT connections:
- YRT Route 1 Highway 7 via Yonge Street
- YRT Route 83 Trench (selected trips)
- YRT Route 87 Langstaff-Maple
- YRT Route 99 Yonge "C"
GO Transit Bus Connections
- Highway 407 - York University buses.
- Newmarket "B" buses.
In September 2005, York Region Transit's VIVA Bus Rapid Transit began serving the Richmond Hill Centre bus terminal, and a loop near the new terminal will connect local and express routes. In the near future, a pedestrian passage will be completed to connect between GO Transit and VIVA.
Currently, the south parking lot is being modified to include a bus loop serving the 407 ETR bus routes operated by GO Transit.
