Trivia

The S-Train tracks are labelled as 3, 4, 5 and 6, but there are no tracks 1 and 2. Tracks 1 and 2 are for the regional train, which doesn't stop at this station. For the S-trains, there are two platforms each with two tracks. One of these platforms handles all southbound traffic and the other platform handles all northbound traffic.
