Okay, why is there an article for this? I live in Guelph and the train station isnt' that important. --Havermayer 09:10, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It exists, and there is information to give about it that is not immediately obvious — how much more important than that does it need to be? David Arthur 12:52, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Railways are a big hobby for some people. They would consider it important.ColtsScore 10:22, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The railway station is of historical importance, and is connected to the VIA Rail wikipedia page as well as GO Transit. 74.210.20.75 19:58, 17 January 2007 (UTC)MrCBC[reply]

Yep, railways are covered in great detail on Wikipedia -- which means we've successfully tapped the resources of a geeky subculture! --Padraic 16:38, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

University of Guelph

There is no "University of Guelph Bus Terminal", only a "bus stop" and "ticket agency", but perhaps a section could be created within the University article covering all transit services and the GO info transferred from here. Secondarywaltz (talk) 16:07, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have no problem with this suggestion as written, but there is no justification for the suggestion on the split tag. Op47 (talk) 20:02, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support: I agree, this University of Guelph section has nothing to do with Guelph Central Station. It should be moved into a separate article or merged into the University of Guelph article. Reaperexpress (talk) 22:22, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Central Station = GTR, not CPR

The current station, still in use, was built by the Grand Trunk,

HERITAGE VALUE The Former CNR (VIA Rail/GO Transit) Station at Guelph reflects a period of prosperity for the Grand Trunk Railway(GTR), during which it upgraded facilities to suit the increased volume of traffic. It also reflects local aspirations to acquire a higher profile station in keeping with the high level of railway service historically obtained by the city. http://www.historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/place-lieu.aspx?id=4569 Peter K Burian (talk) 18:18, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There were CPR passenger stations too, one from the 1800s (the converted Priory house) and the second one, a brick building from 1911.

The CPR station between Cardigan Street and the Speed River near Eramosa Road was a solid, brick building erected in 1911. It replaced the Priory House station — long known as the first substantial house built in Guelph, back in 1827 — as the CPR stop in the royal city. https://www.guelphmercury.com/living-story/4896449-cpr-station-s-final-stop-mystery/ Peter K Burian (talk) 18:20, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
