Walkley consitst of a bus rapid transit station on the southeast Transitway and a rail station on the O-Train network. The two stations are not directly connected, requiring riders to go to street level in order to transfer. The railway station opened on January 6, 2025, as an infill station on the Trillium Line.^[1]

History

Walkley was originally planned to be part of the initial Trillium Line which opened in 2001, but was cut for budgetary reasons before being added in the Stage 2 South expansion.^[2] A passing loop was added in 2013 just north of Walkley to increase train frequency and line capacity.^[3] Despite being single-tracked, the City of Ottawa has maintained that double-tracking the station is in its long-term plans.^{[citation needed]}
