Intercity and regional transit hubs near Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport in Dorval

Dorval station (French: Gare de Dorval, IATA: XAX) is an inter-city train station in the city of Dorval, Quebec, Canada operated by Via Rail. It is located 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) south of Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (IATA: YUL, ICAO: CYUL)[2] near the intersection of Quebec Autoroute 20 (Boulevard Bouchard) and Quebec Autoroute 520. It is a stop for all Corridor trains between Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.

North of the station building, trains call at 2 standard-level side platforms connected by an underground passageway.

Dorval station is located directly east of the Dorval commuter rail station operated by Exo. Although the stations do not share any platforms, they and the Dorval STM bus terminus are within walking distance of one another.[3]

A shuttle bus, known as "Air Connect", links Dorval station to Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport and is free of charge to Via Rail passengers. The bus departs every 45-60 minutes from the station and takes around 5 minutes of travel time to reach door 8 on the airport departures level.[2]

The station is also accessible on foot from the airport terminal via a 2.3km (approximately 32 minute) walk.[4]

A technical study has been conducted by Transport Canada on how to integrate the inter-city rail, regional rail, and bus services at the various Dorval stations into a new Dorval Intermodal Hub with improved access to the airport.[5]

Railway services

[edit]

As of June 2020, Dorval station is served by 2 domestic routes (with connections). All are provided by Via Rail, the primary passenger rail operator in Canada. Service has been reduced to 14 trains per day due to the coronavirus pandemic (effective September 1, 2020).[6]
