Lakeshore East Line GO Expansion

Danforth GO Station

Enhancements will support increased GO service while improving station access and infrastructure for customers.

As Metrolinx works to expand GO train service, we’re upgrading Danforth GO Station with new rail and station infrastructure to support future service increases and an additional track along the Lakeshore East corridor.

Located along the Lakeshore East GO Line in Toronto, Danforth GO Station connects thousands of customers each day to destinations across the region. The station is being upgraded to accommodate increased service levels while improving how customers access and move through the station.

Early works are currently underway to prepare for the phases of work ahead. For more information on project phases, please check out our project lifecycle page.

Project overview

We’re making upgrades to Danforth GO Station, including:

A new south platform with canopy structures
Conversion of the existing south platform into a middle island platform
A new below-ground station entrance
An extension of the existing pedestrian tunnel to improve access through the station
A new ancillary building on the north side of the station to house updated mechanical and electrical systems
Realignment of the multi-use path at the south end of the station

To support future service improvements along the Lakeshore East corridor, we’re also adding new rail infrastructure at the station, including:

A new fourth track on the south side of the rail corridor
Infrastructure to support future electrified GO service

Construction is being delivered in phases to allow the station to remain open while work progresses. Metrolinx will provide advance notice of significant changes and work closely with the community to help customers safely navigate the station during construction.
