Cooksville GO Station
Cooksville GO Station is a GO Transit commuter rail and bus station on the Milton line in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Located at the intersection of Hurontario Street and Dundas Street in the Cooksville neighbourhood, the station serves as a transfer point between GO Transit rail and bus services and MiWay municipal bus routes. It will also connect to the Hurontario LRT (Hazel McCallion Line), which is under construction.
The station opened on October 27, 1981, and was fully rebuilt between 2018 and 2020 at a cost of $128.4 million. It is owned and operated by Metrolinx, the provincial transit agency.
The station site sits on the Galt Subdivision, a rail corridor originally built by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) in the 19th century. CPR operated passenger services through Cooksville on routes connecting Detroit and Montreal as well as Owen Sound and Toronto. These intercity passenger services were discontinued over the course of the 20th century as rail travel declined in favour of automobile and air travel.
Cooksville GO Station opened on October 27, 1981, as part of GO Transit's Milton line. The station was built to serve commuters in the rapidly growing suburban communities around the Hurontario and Dundas corridor. The original station consisted of a single-storey brick station building with a waiting room and ticket office, a surface parking lot with approximately 1,400 spaces, and a single side platform.
The Milton line operates on tracks owned by Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), not by Metrolinx. This arrangement limits GO Transit to running trains only during weekday peak hours in the peak direction: eastbound toward Union Station in the morning and westbound toward Milton in the evening. CPKC freight operations occupy the corridor during off-peak periods, preventing the introduction of two-way, all-day passenger service. The City of Mississauga has described the Milton line as "the second busiest by ridership in GO Transit's rail network after the Lakeshore line," noting that service "is presently limited to peak-direction service during peak hours."
In April and May 2008, GO Transit extended Milton line trains from ten to twelve carriages to increase capacity. Outside rush hours, GO Transit operates bus services (branded as "train-bus") along the corridor to provide some off-peak connectivity.
Repairs to the station's platforms and pedestrian tunnels began in October 2014 and were completed by the spring of 2015.
In 2018, Metrolinx demolished the original station building and portions of the surface parking lot to begin construction of a new transit hub. The project was delivered through a public-private partnership (P3) model managed by Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx. EllisDon served as the general contractor, with NORR as the compliance and design architect and WalterFedy as the architect of record.
