Eglinton GO Station is a train station that serves the Scarborough Village and Eglinton East neighbourhoods of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is a station on the Lakeshore East line of the GO Transit rail network. This station is one of a few GO stations that are not yet accessible.[2] Construction is underway to improve accessibility.

History

The station opened to the public in 1967.[3] The current station building was built in 1978, and was renovated in 2000.

On September 23, 2021, construction started to make the station accessible. The enhancements will include four new elevators and stairwells linking to the two existing pedestrian tunnels. Completion of the work is expected in 2024.[4] [5]
