Spending lots of time here when down south (more so 2010-2013), I liked the fact one could count cars on a CP train if unable to make it over.

With this location now gone, I typically revert to Liverpool, Beare or the new Ajax GO parking garage for westbounds. Not that many places for Eastbounds, I guess Liverpool would be the place to go. All that being said, nothing compares to Hopkins.
