Bloor (GO Transit)
Bloor GO Station is a GO Transit train station along the Georgetown rail corridor. It is located at 1456 Bloor St. West (between Lansdowne and Dundas Street West, directly above Bloor Street), and provides a connection to the Toronto Transit Commission's Bloor-Danforth line at the nearby Dundas West subway station.
Two tracks that serve this station, with one platform to serve each track (South-Eastbound and North-Westbound). Another pair of tracks run west of the station, but lead to the Canadian Pacific Railway's East-West corridor, turning west at the West Toronto Diamond, just north of Bloor Station, and are also used by GO Transit for their Milton commuter rail line.
Like many of the other GO Train stations, this station is equipped with a ticket sales building, instead of completely relying on just the Ticket Vending Machines (TVM) at the Centennial and York University GO Train stations. In addition, this is just one of the few stations that does not provide any car parking.
Bloor has a connection with TTC's Dundas West Station, but unlike Kipling, Kennedy , and Union, it requires the commuter to leave the TTC property in order to transfer GO Transit services (and vice-versa). There have been proposals to build a pedestrian tunnel linking between the two systems, but no funding is available to build the link.
