North Bay station Location in Ontario |
North Bay station is an inter-city bus station located in the city of North Bay, Ontario, Canada. The station is located east of downtown near the Trans-Canada Highway (Ontario Highways 11 & 17) and directly southeast of the Northgate Shopping Centre.[2] It was designed and laid out as an intermodal station, serving both passenger trains and intercity buses; however, due to the suspension of the Ontario Northland Railway's Northlander and Dream Catcher Express rail services in 2012, it is currently active only as a bus terminal.
Station amenities include an indoor waiting area, lockers, parcel shipping and receiving, ticket vending, and Wi-Fi. The outdoor bus platform features a covered waiting area and seating. As well, the Northgate Shopping Centre is situated across the railway tracks from the station and is accessible via a pedestrian tunnel.
The head office of the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission is also located in the city, west of the railway station and south of the municipal bus terminal.

Former[]
The station was once a major component of the Ontario Northland Railway, being served by the Northlander and Dream Catcher Express intercity passenger trains. Both services were cancelled in 2012 and it is currently inactive as a passenger railway station.
Connections[]
The most direct local transit connections are North Bay Transit's 5 Graniteville and 7 Birchhaven/Trout Lake bus routes. Additionally, North Bay Transit's 2 Marshall Park and 3 Ski Club/Pinewood bus routes serve the nearby Northgate Shopping Centre, which can be reached via an underground pedestrian tunnel from the station.
The local transit hub in North Bay is the downtown Peter Reid Bus Terminal, which is located to the west of the station. It is ironically aligned with a different rail corridor: the CPR line leading to Sudbury. It is, however, connected to the intercity station via bus.
