Location

Port Credit GO Station is a GO Transit train and bus station in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Located in the Port Credit neighbourhood, it is a stop on the Lakeshore West line train service. Port Credit GO has been identified by Metrolinx as a transportation mobility hub, ^[1] where different forms of transportation come together. These hubs serve as the origin, destination, or transfer point for a significant number of trips, and provide transportation for a concentrated point of employment, housing, and recreation. ^[2] The under-construction Hurontario LRT will serve the station.

History

The Great Western Railway opened the first railway station in Port Credit in 1855 at Stavebank Road, just west of the current GO Transit facility. That station burned to the ground ^[3] and was replaced by Canadian National closer to the location of the current station, which opened in 1967 when GO Train service began on the Lakeshore West line. ^[4] The Great Western Railway was purchased in 1882 by the Grand Trunk Railway, which was absorbed into the Canadian National Railway in 1920.
