History

The station was constructed between 1855 and 1856 by the Grand Trunk Railway, designed by the GTR chief engineer Francis Thompson and built by Casimir Gzowski. It was enlarged in 1892 and its interior and exterior were remodeled in 1904. Among the 1892 and 1904 modifications were the corner tower and operator's bay window.
The station was acquired by Canadian National Railway when the GTR assets were transferred in 1923 and later became a Via Rail station.
Station facilities
The two mainline tracks are used jointly by Canadian National, Via Rail, Goderich-Exeter and GO Transit. On the north side of the station a yard provides four layover tracks and an island platform used for GO Train service. Via trains operate from a side platform on the south side of the station, adjacent to the station building.
The station has two parking lots. The main parking lot and station building are located on the south side of the tracks adjacent to a bus loading/unloading zone.
Ticket sales are available during peak hours with an attendant, as well as during evenings for the last few days of every month.
The station building is open during the posted GO train hours and for a half-hour before each Via train arrival.
