The Belleville railway station in Belleville, Ontario, Canada is served by Via Rail trains running from Toronto to Ottawa and Montreal. The station is staffed, with ticket sales, vending machines, telephones, washrooms, and wheelchair access to the station and trains.

Just east of the main station building is the freight shed, which Via Rail use for storing the baggage cart, while its basement is home to The Belleville Model Railroad Club[1]

Built in 1856 by Thomas Brassey for Canadian National Railway predecessor Grand Trunk Railway, the station was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1973.[2][3]

On November 10, 2010, Via Rail unveiled the design for a new station building. The new building is estimated to cost $14 million CDN and would be wheelchair accessible, and have space to accommodate expanded track lines.[4]
