The 65 bus to get downtown sucks... Is always late.... Always.. 4/5 times. The train is fine, but it rarely runs.Pretty much never want to use the go again. Better off using viva and then TTC instead... It's quicker and cheaper. Terrible drivers

If I was able to give a zero star, I would. This station only cares about the people who pay extra money for a reserved spot. Every day passing at least 50 empty reserved spots and not able to park at all.

Weekend service on the Go Train's Barrie line is a JOKE... absolutely BRUTAL. The trains usually run like clockwork from Monday to Friday, particularly during rush hour (if you're 10 seconds late for a rush hour train on Monday morning, you miss it every time). Then when the weekend hits, it's like the wheels come right off the tracks (almost literally) and all of a sudden Go Transit forgets how to operate trains. I get the feeling like they're surprised and caught off guard every time they need to run trains on a Saturday or Sunday, as if it's the first time they've ever done it. This is not hyperbole - the weekend service on this line is CONSISTENTLY BAD. I would say that roughly 20-30% of the weekend trains on the Barrie line actually get you to point B on time, 70-80% the trains are late. Granted, usually the delay is less than 10 minutes, but it has gotten increasingly bad in the past few months. This summer the train has short-turned on 2 separate occasions before getting to the Aurora station because they could not open/close the doors. The first time they literally abandoned us in King City on mothers day at 7pm - where 300 + people jaywalked across Keele St. on masse. There were only 2 busses waiting at the station (when at least 4-5 busses were required), so hundreds of poor people were left standing at the corner of Keele and King Rd. for God knows how long until more busses arrived (if they arrived at all). The second time, they must have learned a lesson, because they left us at the Maple station this time to wait for busses (which was a little safer then leaving us on the side of Keele St.). Both 60 minute train rides turned in to 2-3 hour fiascos. And then yesterday, the train completely died - engine and lights totally cut out - in the middle of the tracks, and we had to wait on the dead train in the middle of nowhere for hours until they towed us back to Rutherford and sent another train. Took 4 hours to get to Aurora from Toronto (roughly the same time it takes to get to Ottawa). I feel so bad for the poor weekend train conductors that they throw under the bus (or train) every weekend with little to no support when stuff consistently goes wrong. They're clearly operating on weekends with inadequate staff and trains that in all likelihood shouldn't be on the tracks (I guess the trains that can actually open/close the doors and that won't die mid-trip are all getting serviced on weekends). I honestly don't feel safe taking these weekend trains anymore. It's only a matter of time before their shotty and completely disorganized weekend service causes a serious accident.I will NEVER take the Go Train Barrie line on a weekend again. Monday to Friday there are never any issues, but on weekends, horrible service is clearly the norm. Two years ago, you could catch Go Buses from Aurora to Union that ran every half hour, and they generally arrived at union station in 40 minutes or less. Now - under the PR guise of 'improving service' - you have to catch a train that only runs every 60 minutes and doubles your commute time (if you're lucky... it could be tripled or quadrupled). Clearly, Go Transit and Metrolinx are saving $ money - I'm sure their quarterly profits are up and shareholders are having a good year - but there has been a noticeable decline in the quality of their weekend train service. I'll be driving to Finch and taking the subway to work on weekends now. That's right Go Transit, you've actually sunk lower than the pathetic TTC on weekends!

This is Aurora Station in Aurora, York,Ontario, 1919. My Grandmother sent this to her parents in England. She had married a Canadian in England. He was born in Simcoe, York, Ontario and, at some point in time, he and his family moved to Aurora which was just 5 minutes walking distance from the station. His name was.William David Ervine Watson and married to Beatrice Violet Shaw from Sheffield, England.She wrote that: "The the train is just like the American trains in the picture palace in Sheffield, England". She points out that the Platform is level with the tracks.I was surprised how the station today can still be recognised from this picture.

Trains and bus services are always on time here. There is a parking garage option with multiple levels at this location.
