Best Train station in Canada

Z	Zach Heard on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ LOVE that they are finally bringing all day train service to Toronto. It’s about time! Would be lovely if the station was ready, none of the automatic door opening buttons work. The men’s washroom was locked? While the women’s was left unlocked. Seems like there is supposed to be someone working there but desk/kiosk area was deserted. There needs to be better signage as to where the parking/drop off area is from bay & James streets.

J	Jonathan Welsh on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was excited to have a train station in Hamilton. Too bad it’s not set up well. Terrible signage, no people booth because of COVID which I understand but the ticket machines are already buggy and terrible. The machine kept putting in too many tickets and switched between languages every 10 seconds. It was also impossible to set a proper destination. As well, for some reason they are on the third level making it a pain for individuals that don’t have a presentation card. There is a nice sign for the amount of parking spots taken up which is nice I guess. Stick with Aldershot for now.
H	Hamed Esmaeeli (Life Learning Hub) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Less guiding sign for new passengers. The schedule of Go train and Go bus is not match and we always miss the train when approach by bus 18 from Brock university.
E	Endless Rats on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you are trying to get into the station around 7am, try the platform access furthest from James. God only knows why that is the only one that is open in the morning, or why there is no signage informing people of this fact. I was one of a handful of people late for their commute this morning because we could not get to the train. We missed the train at the train station. Unbelievable. As an additional point, since technological problems seem frequent, you may want to invest in some analog signage delineating where each line stops and where platform access is, particularly because there never seems to be any staff on site and the website is not very informative for those that have data (Wi-Fi is connected to trains, not the station itself). I am very excited for this station to become useful. Please work on making it better. There are simple design solutions to these problems.
A	Andre Arend on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The trains now run every hour which is great but the washrooms are locked in the morning so if you have one or two trains cancelled it's am uncomfortable wait. Also presumably due to there being no washroom access there is a large amount of human waste around the station which is off putting. If you can just go to Aldershot or Hamilton Go Centre.
D	David Sumner on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great go station. Very clean and efficient. BAD PLACE TO LEAVE A BIKE. Petty thieves cut MY cable lock with a hacksaw, stole my seat and couldn't do anything more then that. Heavy duty lock is must (I had a good u bolt thankfully) and don't leave anything that's removable on your bike. It won't be there when you come back. Unfortunately the downtown crowd has lived up to their name yet again. Why I thought things had changed, I do not know.
A	Alexander Glista on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Hourly all-day GO train service on weekdays and weekends to this station makes it a very useful way to get to Toronto and back. Would highly recommend it. About 300 free parking spaces are also available.
