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, April 25, GO Transit is shutting down the elevator serving Platform 3, while crews upgrade the platform. This temporarily changes how you board or exit trains at the station.

Travelling from Malton

• GO is reopening the east end of Platform 3 and closing the west end. Access the platform by the stairs from the east tunnel.
• It’s also closing the stairwell and elevator in the west tunnel leading to Platform 3.
• Platform 3 has no elevator service.

If you need to use an elevator, board trains at Etobicoke North GO Station.

GO says, “If you need help to get to Etobicoke North GO, you can fill out a Dignity Transportation shuttle request form by calling GO at 416-869-3200 or 1-888-438-6646 (toll free). You can also ask a station ambassador in the station building for a paper copy.” Please note that you must ask for a shuttle 48 hours before the time you intend to travel.

Travelling toward Malton

• Listen to announcements on your train, because some trains don’t open all doors at Malton.
• The accessible ramp remains available to those who need to board the accessible coach.

The elevator to platform 3 remains closed to passengers “for about a month”, meaning as late as until May 21.

Platform 3 construction at Malton GO Station continues until “this summer”, meaning as late as until September 15.

GO contractors have completed construction on the east side of platform 2. Crews are upgrading the west side of the platform. This changes how you board and exit trains on platform 2.

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 platform 2. Remember that the west side of platform 2 is closed during construction.
• The stairs connecting the west tunnel to platform 2 are closed. Use the elevator in the west tunnel or the stairs in the east tunnel to get to and from platform 2.
• 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, because some trains will not open all doors at Malton.
• The accessible ramp will still be available to those who need to exit 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”).
