Markham GO Station is a railway station in the GO Transit network located on Markham Main Street North in Markham, Ontario in Canada. It is a stop on the Stouffville line train service, which only has peak hour service, and all connecting bus services operate on the street and do not enter the station.

History

Toronto and Nipissing Station, c.1900

The station was built in 1871 by the Toronto and Nipissing Railway,^[1] which was taken over by the Grand Trunk Railway, which ultimately became part of the Canadian National Railway in 1923. It has been designated as a heritage railway station^[2] by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. The city of Markham purchased the building as a Millennium project and are undertaking its restoration^[3] in conjunction with the Markham Village Conservancy, which manages the station.^[4] In addition to facilities for GO Transit, the building is used as community centre, with two rooms with a capacity of either 100 or 30 people, available for rental.^[5]
