Like most GO stations, Cooksville has parking for commuters and a station building with a ticket sales agent and a waiting room. It is located near several condominium complexes, which provides ridership on the Milton Line. The 1400-space parking lot allows access to those who live closer to Mississauga City Centre to use the station.
The GO Station is served by seven trains inbound to Union Station in the morning rush hour and seven trains outbound to Milton during the evening rush hour. There is also the Train-Bus during off-peak hours.
Despite growing ridership on the Milton line, GO cannot schedule additional trains because of the busy Canadian Pacific Kansas City freight services running on the same tracks.[2] Trains were extended from ten to twelve carriages in a phased roll-out between April 8, 2008[3] and May 2, 2008 in order to increase capacity, and congestion is alleviated somewhat by the extensive train-bus services outside of rush periods.
Repairs to the platforms and pedestrian tunnels began in October 2014 and was completed by the spring of 2015.[5]
Reconstructionedit
Demolition of the original Cooksville GO station building and portions of the parking lot began in 2018 in preparation for the construction of new station structures. The new station includes a multi-level parking structure, improved pedestrian access, and a connection to the planned Hurontario LRT.[6] Construction was completed on November 10, 2020,[7] at a cost of $128.4 million.[8]
