New Liskeard station is a former railway and bus station in the community of New Liskeard, part of the city of Temiskaming Shores, Ontario, Canada. It is located on the north end of Jaffray Street, across from the west entrance of Spruce Avenue.
It was a station stop for Ontario Northland Railway's Northlander passenger train until service was discontinued in 2012. It was then used as a bus station for Ontario Northland Motor Coach Services until its full closure on March 4, 2016.[1]
The original station structure was demolished in 2023.[3]
The stop will be renamed Temiskaming Shores and a new heated passenger shelter will be constructed on the site between 2024–2026 in preparation for ONR resuming its Northlander passenger train service in the mid-2020s.[4]
