Station Details

The Union Pearson Express downtown terminal is located right within Canada's busiest rail hub. The light-filled station was designed especially for UP Express guests, using a warm mix of natural materials.

UP Express Digital signage is getting a makeover!

Digital information screens across the UP Express network are being replaced with an updated visual experience that will improve your experience at our stations.

We are consolidating and streamlining our digital signage systems to provide you with consistent experience across no matter where you start or end your journey with us. 

In the coming weeks, you will notice new screens, featuring: 

- A unique colour for each rail corridor

- An icon identifying accessible plaforms

- A lightning bolt symbol to indicate express trains

Schedule information, as well as important notices will stay the same, and current signage will remain in place while the new signs are rolled out.

Our station is rich in amenities to ensure you have a delightful wait while in transit, such as light refreshments from Balzac's coffee. Our friendly guest service representatives will be happy to help you at the customer service desk with any questions.

For guests continuing their journey, local connections to the TTC subway and streetcar lines, as well as GO Transit regional bus and train lines are an easy transfer away.

Guests who have already purchased a ticket or have tapped their PRESTO cards may join the lines, and have their payment quickly confirmed.  Guests with e-tickets must activate their tickets at least 5 minutes before boarding the train.  

  • Tickets can be purchased quickly and easily at the ticket vending machines, via the UP Express website.
