Lincolnville GO station opening in September

Whitchurch-Stouffville

GO Transit users can use a new station starting this fall.

The new Lincolnville Station, at Bethesda Road and Tenth Line, is now slated to open in September. It was to open last month.

“This is a growing area, and this (new station) will take the pressure off the existing Stouffville station,” said Ed Shea, manager of marketing and communications for GO.

The new station will feature parking for 150 cars, with room for expansion, kiss ‘n ride lanes for passenger pick-up and drop off and be fully accessible for wheelchairs.

The station will also have ticket vending machines as opposed to an attendant in a booth.

While construction on the station is “virtually finished”, according to Mr. Shea, GO is working with CN to finalize the logistics of the route.

Before becoming the new station, GO used the existing property as a layover yard.
