Train is a station on Ottawa's Transitway. It is a stop on the Transitway bus rapid transit system that is connected to Ottawa's main railway station, and not itself a train station.
The City of Ottawa has plans to construct a pedestrian overpass over the Queensway highway, linking the station to nearby employment areas and to the Ottawa Baseball Stadium.[1] It is unclear what impact the departure of the Ottawa Lynx baseball club in 2007 will have on the project.
The station will become an O-Train station on the Confederation Line after 2018 and the name will be changed to Tremblay.
Effective 28 June 2015, the main Transitway platforms are closed for Confederation Line construction. As well, the Transitway between Hurdman Station and Blair Station is closed until 2018, meaning routes either end at Blair Station or Hurdman Station, or travel via Ottawa Road 174 toward downtown. Service to Ottawa Train Station during this period is provided by routes 92 and 96 on Tremblay Road.[2]
Service
The following routes serve Train Station:
