Northfield[1] will be a stop on the Region of Waterloo's Ion rapid transit system. It will be located on Northfield Drive in Waterloo, between Parkside Drive and the Conestoga Parkway, at the existing railway corridor. It is scheduled to open in 2018.
Access to the platform is from the north, directly from the Northfield Drive sidewalk; to the south, there is only an emergency egress on the eastern side.
Just opposite the station on Northfield Drive, in the same rail corridor, will be the southern terminus of the Waterloo Central Railway tourist train to St. Jacobs and Elmira.
It marks a transition point between tracks running in the boulevard of a road - in the direction of the Conestoga terminus - and open tracks running in a railway corridor - in the direction of Uptown Waterloo. Just south of the station, the Waterloo Spur freight line merges with the southbound track; a short distance south of that, the line accesses the Operations, Maintenance and Storage Facility.
