Milliken GO Station

Milliken GO Station is a GO Transit train station located in the Scarborough area of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, near the city's northern border. It is located in the neighbourhood of Milliken, Ontario. The station originally opened on September 7, 1982 on the Stouffville line but was relocated on September 6, 2005 because the curve of the original station made it difficult for the operator to see, and it would allow a parking lot to be built on the other side, along with making the station accessible.

The station was re-located south of Steeles Avenue, adjacent to the Splendid China Tower shopping centre and accessed by a re-aligned Redlea Avenue. This new station has a straight platform long enough to accommodate a full-length train of ten carriages and a locomotive, which allows the conductor to have a good enough view from the 5th carriage to open all the doors safely. It has a 725 car parking lot, a dedicated passenger pick-up and drop-off area, and a station building with ticket sales counters, a waiting area, and public washrooms.
