Bronte GO Station is a train station in the GO Transit network located in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. It is a stop on the Lakeshore West line and there is an adjacent bus loop for connecting local Oakville Transit bus routes.
In September 2008 the station parking lot was expanded[1] with a new entrance on Wyecroft Road. In January 2011, approximately 175 spaces were made available in the south lot which can be entered from Speers Road. When the project is completed the south lot will provide 300 parking spaces, with stairs and ramps to the platforms.[2]
A Bronte Station Master Plan was completed in 2013, with key recommendations to be coordinated with ongoing improvements.[3] This included considering extending the east tunnel to the south side of the tracks to a relocated bus loop or improve existing west tunnel connections to the existing loop and add more bus bays.[4] Improvements already started, and was completed by Spring 2016, which included repaving the south parking lot and the addition of 200 new spaces as well as upgrades to platform canopies and shelters.[5]
History
The first Bronte railway station was built around 1900 by the Grand Trunk Railway,[6][7] on the south side of the tracks just east of Bronte Road, about 1.5 kilometres west of the current site.[8]
GO Transit began operating the Lakeshore line on May 23, 1967, providing only rush hour service beyond Oakville. When the GO Station was relocated, in November 1967, it had been given the name Oakville West to distinguish it from the original station.[9][10] Subsequently, the historic name was restored for the community of Bronte where the station is located, in the west end of Oakville.
