Maple GO Station is a train and bus station on GO Transit's Barrie line, located in Maple, Ontario, Canada. It is Ontario's oldest operating railway station, with passenger service dating back to 1853.
History
Maple Station opened on May 16, 1853 when the service began on the Ontario, Simcoe, and Huron Railroad between Toronto and Machell's Corners (now Aurora). At the time, the station was named "Richmond Hill", despite being six kilometres west of that community. Train service was extended to Barrie later in 1853, and to Collingwood in 1855.[1]
The current station building was constructed in 1903 by the Grand Trunk Railway to replace the original Ontario, Simcoe and Huron building, which had burned down.[2] The Queen Anne style timber frame structure is clad in wood using stick style patterns, and features large gables in its roofline. It is federally protected by the Heritage Railway Stations Protection Act.[2][3]
The building underwent renovations that were completed in January 2014 for CA$1.7 million.[4] It included repairs to the facade and interior, replacement of the floor, and an upgrade to the accessibility ramps.[5] An additional 60 parking spaces were added to the station in the spring of 2015.[6]
Services
The Barrie line has weekday service consisting of seven trains southbound to Toronto Union Station in the morning, and seven trains northbound to Barrie Allandale Station in the afternoon.
Weekend service is provided all day in both directions during summer months. Between June 29, 2013 and September 2, 2013, the service consisted of four trains in each direction between Allandale Waterfront Station and Union Station.[7]
