Markham GO Station

The Markham GO Station is a unique place to visit for its classic railway style. It's located on Main Street North, and it has been designed based on how train stations were back in Canada years ago. The design of this building is unique because it combines both Carpentry Gothic and vernacular styles and its history as one of Canada's first railway stations. It was designated by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board in 1992 to be protected under federal legislation that protects all historic sites worthwhile enough to keep alive their memory through preservation.


The historical value of this railway station is undeniable. It was built in 1871 by The Toronto and Nipissing Railway, which became part of Canadian National Railways after being absorbed into Grand Trunk Railroad Company's network three years later, eventually becoming known as "Nip." The move to designate it as a heritage site came about through efforts from many people, including those who wanted protection for its architectural features or just felt that history should not be forgotten but always remembered because you learn something new every time you visit your favorite spot.


The city of Markham purchased this historic railway station as part of their Millennium project and is undertaking its restoration in conjunction with the Village Conservancy, which manages this space. The building houses GO Transit services while also serving community events like weddings, workshops, etc., catering to up to 100 people per room when locals are not using it.


Markham's new station is a significant hub for GO Train service, but it doesn't have an official bus terminal. Connecting buses stop outside the building where you can grab them to take all sorts of trips around town. You'll find nine southbound trains from Toronto each day (including some that arrive early in the morning) as well as northward departures at night time or late evening hours; depending on what routes pilgrims need to be taken, they may choose one particular line over another - there are plenty choices available.


GO Transit in Canada is a great way to get around the Toronto area. The Stouffville line offers service from Union Station all of York Region, including Whitchurch-Stuuffiue and Markham GO stations. There's an easy connection with either TTC bus routes or Transport Services Corporation (TTC) transit vans at YOUR destination, so no matter what part you're visiting in our beautiful city - whether it be downtown core near Bay Street bridge or outside shenanigans along Lake Ontario shoreline - travelers can ride transportation network just like they want while experiencing new destinations too.
