Confederation GO Station is a GO bus stop and planned train station[2] to be built by Metrolinx in East Hamilton, Ontario. The station is named for Confederation Beach Park, nearby on Lake Ontario.
The station is planned as part of the anticipated expansion of GO Transit's Lakeshore West line service to Niagara Falls.[3] Construction on the site began in 2017, however opening of the rail station was delayed several times.[4][5][6][7] In October 2022, construction on the rail station resumed and is expected to be completed in 2025.[8]
