Oriole GO Station is a small train station on GO Transit's Richmond Hill line. It is located under the Highway 401 overpass, west of Leslie Street in the North York district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is approximately 500 metres (1,600 ft) south of Leslie subway station on Line 4 Sheppard of the Toronto Transit Commission.
A pedestrian walkway along the east side of tracks connects the north end of the platform to Esther Shiner Boulevard and a short walk along Old Leslie Street leads to the upper, automated entrance to the subway station. It has been proposed several times that the GO station should be moved to allow for a direct connection with the subway.[2][3]
There is a footbridge over the track, allowing pedestrians to walk between the station to Woodsworth Road. This bridge replaced an old, narrower bridge further north. This 30-metre (98 ft) metre bridge is enclosed in a mesh safety screen and has an anti-slip floor.[4]
Nearby points of interest include the Concord Park Place condominium complex, IKEA North York, and North York General Hospital.
