[citation needed] Of all the Richmond Hill line stations, this is the only station that has a reduced length platform which accommodates only up to an L8 consist, a trainset consisting of eight Bombardier BiLevel Coaches and at least one locomotive.

Beginning in the spring of 2015, the platform was scheduled to be extended to allow 12-car trains.

[2] The train layover facility in Richmond Hill was opened in 2014.

[3] The original Richmond Hill railway station was a single storey clapboard building, located on the north side of Centre Street East, just a short distance north of the current station.

Built in 1906 by the James Bay Railway, the station was closed by Canadian National Railway in 1968 and the building was relocated in 1979 to Richmond Green, at Elgin Mills Road and Leslie Street, to serve as a clubhouse for local minor soccer teams.
