Pickering GO Station is a railway station and bus station in the GO Transit network located in Pickering, Ontario, Canada. It is a stop on the Lakeshore East line train service, and is the eastern terminus of the Highway 407 bus services via York University. All Lakeshore East trains (express and local) stop at Pickering GO Station.

This station was once the key transfer point between GO Train and Bus services. This was the original eastern train terminus from 1967 to 1990, when the eastern extension to Whitby (and later Oshawa) was built. Full train service between Pickering and Oshawa was started in 2006, as weekend bus service was replaced by trains.

Pickering has three platforms for trains, 1 and 2 which serve trains to Union and trains to Oshawa. Track 3, separated from the other tracks, is closest to the bus bays and station. Track 3 is the original track before the extension to Oshawa, which serves Express and Local trains to and from Union which terminate in Pickering.

The station is also the Pickering hub for Durham Region Transit services, which evolved from the Bay Ridges Dial-a-Bus in 1970.

A pedestrian walkway (to eliminate need for passengers to cross CN tracks to travel from the station to the bus terminal) was completed in 2012, and a new multi-level parking structure is being built at the station and will be completed by the end of 2013 with an expected capacity of 1500 new parking spaces.^[1]
