LRT infrastructure in the vicinity
North of the station, the line runs in a trench beside Highway 27, rising partway to surface level to a flat section where a pair of single crossovers to reverse light rail vehicles (LRVs) are located. It then dips back down until Finch Avenue West, where it enters a short tunnel and curves 90° east under the intersection. After exiting the tunnel, it rises to the surface to begin its run along the centre of Finch. There are also tail tracks south of the platform for overnight storage for two LRVs.[11]
