Metrolinx continues a project to enhance communication and safety features and create more connections at Malton GO Station, as part of the GO Expansion Program.

During “the week of” Monday, September 20, GO Transit contractors are paving at Malton GO Station. The work zone affects how you board and exit your train on platform 2.

Travelling from Malton GO Station:

• The work zone blocks parts of platform 2.
• The elevator and stairs to the island (north) platform in the west tunnel remain available.
• Look for signs that show you where to stand. Remember to spread out along the platform to help keep everyone safe.
• The accessible ramp is available to those who need it to board the accessible coach.

Travelling from Union Station:

• Listen to announcements on your train. Not all coaches will open doors at Malton.
• The accessible ramp is available to those who need it to exit the accessible coach.

Construction at Malton GO Station continues “until later this fall”, meaning as late as until November 30.

Since Thursday, January 7, GO has temporarily changed how you access the station during the next phase of construction. Contractors continue to install utilities underground for the new electrical building at the station.

Brampton Transit or MiWay buses, use a temporary bus platform, just west of the passenger pick-up and drop-off area (or “Kiss and Ride”) near the accessible parking spaces.

GO has closed about 300 parking spaces. GO says, “There will still be plenty of parking available for you at the station.”

This phase of construction at Malton GO Station continues until further notice.

Metrolinx is preparing the station for GO Expansion by:

• adding tactile yellow safety tiles at the edge of the train platforms to remind you how far back to stand;
• installing new digital signs on the train platforms;
• widening the island platform to allow trains to stop on the north side; and
• changing the accessible platform to function on both sides.

Metrolinx and GO plan to accommodate more passengers and increase service along the Kitchener line, as part of their GO Expansion Program (formerly “regional express rail”).
