York University GO Station is a GO Transit railway station on the Barrie line commuter railway; it is the second station stop northbound and the eighth station stop southbound. The station serves York University in Toronto, but is located about a mile away from the university's actual campus in the heart of Toronto's industrial sector. A shuttle bus runs between the station and the university.
The station itself is not very built-up, with just a paved walkway, a paved platform to receive passengers and to board (without any protection from the elements), a sign indicating the terminal (on both the road and at the station), railings and a posted schedule.
The construction of the platform and walkway was completed in 2002, funded by a provincial investment of $850,000.[cite web|url=http://ogov.newswire.ca/ontario/GPOE/2002/09/06/c8813.html?lmatch=&lang=_e.html|title=Eves government opens new GO Transit station at York University|year=2002|publisher=Ontario Ministry of Transportation|accessdate=2006-06-09] It was built by Gottardo Construction Ltd.]The York University GO Station officially opened on September 6, 2002, though it had been put into service earlier.
It may be replaced or supplemented in future by a new station attached to the proposed Sheppard West TTC station, on the Spadina line extension currently undergoing environmental assessment.
