Erindale GO Station is a GO Transit railway station on the Milton line in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario, Canada. It is located at 1320 Rathburn Road West, just east of the Credit River near the community of Erindale in Mississauga, west of the Square One area.
Like many other GO Train stations, Erindale does offer parking facilities, and has a station building which houses ticket sales and includes a waiting room. Because of the volume of traffic it receives, Erindale is the only station on the Milton line with two separate tunnels connecting the train platforms to the street.
Erindale acted as a terminus for the mid-day trains that GO Transit once operated on the Milton Line during the early to mid-1990s, but these trains no longer run because of budget cutbacks made by the Mike Harris Progressive Conservative government.
Although ridership on the Milton line has grown beyond GO's expectations, it is not possible to run more trains, because the tracks are already busy with Canadian Pacific Railway freight traffic. In order to increase capacity, GO has extended the platforms to accommodate trains with twelve carriages rather than the current ten.
Erindale is not currently wheelchair-accessible, but its design can easily accommodate the necessary raised mini-platform and elevators. These are due for completion by the end of November 2007.
