Erindale GO Station is a
GO Transit railway station on the
Milton line in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario
, Canada
.
It is
located at 1320 Rathburn Road West, just east of the Credit River near the community of Erindale
in Mississauga
, west of the Square One area.
Like many other GO Train stations, Erindale does offer parking
facilities, and has a station building which houses ticket sales
and includes a waiting room. Because of the volume of traffic it
receives, Erindale is the only station on the Milton line with two
separate tunnels connecting the train platforms to the parking
lot.
Erindale acted as a terminus for the mid-day trains that GO Transit
once operated on the Milton Line during the early to mid-1990s, but
these trains no longer run because of budget cutbacks made by the
Mike Harris Progressive Conservative
government.
Although ridership on the Milton line has grown beyond GO's
expectations, it is not possible to run more trains, because the
tracks are already busy with
Canadian Pacific Railway freight
traffic. In order to increase capacity, GO has extended the
platforms to accommodate trains with twelve carriages rather than
the current ten.
Erindale was most recently upgraded and is now fully wheel chair
accessible.
