Bloor GO Station is a railway station on GO Transit's Kitchener line and the Union Pearson Express rail service, located in Toronto, Canada, at 1456 Bloor Street West, between Lansdowne Avenue and Dundas Street West. It is nearby Dundas West station on the Bloor–Danforth line of the Toronto rapid transit network. The West Toronto Railpath runs along the eastern side of the station, providing a pedestrian and cyclist connection to the neighbourhoods to the north, east, and south. The Railpath also has bicycle parking by the station's entrances from the path. The Crossways shopping mall and apartment complex is located to the west of the station. ==Overview== Eastbound and westbound GO and UPX trains on this line use the Weston Subdivision, locally oriented northwest-southeast; there is one low and high-level platform on each of the two tracks. Parallel to these tracks, running along their southwest side, is the Galt Subdivision, also double-track; this carries GO trains on the Milton line, but they do not stop at Bloor station. However, GO has considered including the station as part of Milton line services, but it is not in current plans. Until 1996 there was a fifth parallel track on the other side of the CN line, which also belonged to CP and was used for access to local industries; its former right-of-way is now used for the West Toronto Railpath. Bloor Street dips down here to cross under all the tracks, and the station is reached by stairs from its north sidewalk. The ticket sales office at Bloor station was closed in April 2008; tickets are sold only by vending machines. It is one of the system's few stations with no parking lot. Only 200 passengers use the station per day, but that is expected to increase to 1,000 with the opening of the Union Pearson Express. Metrolinx is projecting 2,000 riders will use the station daily by 2031.〔("GO and TTC make a connection at Dundas West" ) Tess Kalinowski, Toronto Star. March 22, 2011〕 UPX president Kathy Haley said 25 per cent of UPX riders are expected to use Bloor Station.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bloor GO Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
