Gormley GO Station is a train and bus station in theGO Transit network located inRichmond Hill, Ontario, Canada, servingOak Ridges and theWhitchurch–Stouffville community ofGormley. It was the terminus of theRichmond Hill line train service from when it opened on 5 December 2016 until 28 June 2021, when the line was extended north toBloomington GO Station.[2][3]
The station is located on the north side of Stouffville Road (York Regional Road 14) on the east side of the railway, west of Highway 404.[4] It features a single platform with heated shelters and a snow-melting system, a station building, a bus loop, akiss and ride and 850 car parking spaces.[5] The station building has aLeadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification.[6]
In 1907, a two-storey station was built by theJames Bay Railway, south of the original Stouffville Sideroad. The name of the company changed to the Canadian Northern Ontario Railway, and later to theCanadian Northern Railway, and was ultimately merged into theCanadian National Railway in 1923.[7]
The Gormley railway station was demolished in the early 1970s.[8] Station Road, which once led to station, is now a narrow dead-end street that gives access to a few homes and businesses from Gormley Road.[9]
The Gormley GO Station was constructed north of Stouffville Road, approximately 600 metres (2,000 ft) north of the site of the historic train station. Aribbon-cutting ceremony for the station was held on 1 December 2016,[6] and regular service began on 5 December 2016.[10]
Construction of the station and its building cost approximatelyCA$22 million.[3] The station's construction was originally delayed due to environmental concerns[11] and started in 2014. A nearby layover train storage facility with capacity of six trains was built simultaneously and cost aboutCA$85 million.[12] The layover facility opened in 2014.[13]
As of April 2024, Gormley Station is served by four southbound train trips to Union Station on weekday mornings, and five northbound trips returning northbound on weekday evenings.[6][14] A handful of additional trips between Gormley and Union Station are operated by GO Transit bus route 61 outside of peak periods.
Starting 28 April 2024, a new on-request service is being offered from Gormley GO station that provides connection toYork Region Transit routes 24 Woodbine and 90 Leslie, as well as the adjacent service area in Gormley. The service will be available weekdays between 6 am and 9 am, as well as between 4 pm and 8 pm, and can be booked using the YRT On-Request App.[15]
Station Road is named for Gormley Station, once a stop on the northbound James Bay and Northern Ontario Railways.
Construction of a new GO Station in Gormley is underway, extending the Richmond Hill line north to Stouffville Road.
