The Langstaff GO Station is a train and bus station in the GO Transit network located in Markham, 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. The south lot building thus to be converted to a waiting room after the new station building opened for service on June 6, 2005. The new building has a ticket office for passengers to purchase bus and train tickets on weekdays.
Langstaff Road East was the original routing of 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 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.
