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.

Starting Monday, November 29, GO Transit reopens the permanent bus loop at the station, improving service for passengers aboard buses along several routes.

• Brampton Transit:

• 505 Züm Bovaird.

• GO Transit:

• 31 Guelph / Georgetown / Toronto;
• 38 Bolton / Mississauga.

• MiWay

• 30 Rexdale.

Crews have finished installing utilities underground and repairing glass in the east tunnel.

The stairs in the west tunnel connecting to platform 2 (north platform) are closed for ongoing construction to upgrade the platform. Use the elevator in the west tunnel to get to and from platform 2. GO is reopening the stairs in the east tunnel connecting to platform 2.

It’s also closing about 100 parking spaces in the north parking lot to provide space to store construction materials. GO says, “There is still plenty of parking available for you.” It’s also reopening the accessible parking spaces that it closed previously.

“As early as” Monday, November 22, GO Transit contractors started upgrading the west side of the north platform to install tactile yellow safety tiles and digital signs.

GO had already closed the west side of the south platform to install the tiles and signs.

The work zone affects how you board or exit trains at the station.

Travelling from Malton GO Station:

• Look for signs with information to guide you to where to stand and remember to spread out along the east side of the platforms. Remember that the west sides of the north and south platforms are closed during construction.
• The accessible ramp remains available to those who need to board the accessible coach.

Travelling toward Malton GO Station:

• Listen to announcements on your train, becaise some trains will not open all doors at Malton.
• The accessible ramp will still be available to those who need to disembark the accessible coach.
• Check out the boarding guide below before your trip.

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”).
