Major infrastructure upgrades at Milliken and Agincourt GO stations are now complete in preparation for improved connectivity between Markham and Toronto on the Stouffville line.
“These major infrastructure improvements will increase safety and accessibility for customers while supporting future two-way, all-day, 15-minute train service between Toronto and Markham,” said Transporation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria.
Enhancements at Milliken GO Station include an additional track and platform, two new pedestrian tunnels, and additional vehicle and cycling lanes on Steeles Avenue. The Agincourt GO station has a brand-new station building with modern facilities, as well as additional platforms and pedestrian tunnels.
As part of the larger GO Expansion program, improvements at the Milliken and Agincourt GO stations will build capacity on the Stouffville line to meet future ridership demand and support two-way, all-day GO train service, every 15 minutes between Unionville GO Station and Union Station by 2031.
As part of this work, 19 train trips will be added along the Stouffville Line once future two-way, all-day service is offered. There will be up to 2,000 GO train trips per week on the Stouffville Line, compared with the current level of 164 per week, according to a statement from the Ministry of Transportation.
GO rail is projected to become one of the busiest railways in North America with more than 200 million annual riders expected by 2055.
