York University GO Station is a GO Transit railway station on the Barrie line commuter railway; it is the second station stop northbound and the eighth station stop southbound. The station serves York University in Toronto, but is located about a mile away from the university's actual campus in the heart of Toronto's industrial sector. A shuttle bus runs between the station and the university.
The station itself is not very built-up, with just a paved walkway, a paved platform to receive passengers and to board (without any protection from the elements), a sign indicating the terminal (on both the road and at the station), railings and a posted schedule.
The construction of the platform and walkway was completed in 2002, funded by a provincial investment of $850,000.[1] It was built by Gottardo Construction Ltd.
The York University GO Station officially opened on September 6, 2002, though it had been put into service earlier.
It may be replaced or supplemented in future by a new station attached to the proposed Sheppard West TTC station, on the Spadina line extension currently undergoing environmental assessment.
