List of O-Train stations
The O-Train is a light-rail transit (LRT) system in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada operated by OC Transpo consisting of two lines and 17 stations. The Confederation Line is fully grade-separated and consists of 13 stations including 4 underground stations.[1] The Trillium Line is a diesel light-rail transit (DLRT) service. The present line runs north-south on a railway line, from Bayview to Greenboro, a distance of approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) and consisting of 5 stations. It is isolated from road traffic, but shared with other trains; after operating hours the track has been infrequently used by Ottawa Central for freight service to the National Research Council.
Stage 2 will see the O-Train system expanded south, east, and west, with 24 new stations added to the existing lines.

Proposed stations
The city has also begun planning future expansions including an extension to Kanata and Barrhaven. The environmental assessment for the Kanata extension, which could see up to 8 stations added, was completed in April of 2018.[4] A study to extend the line into Barrhaven is also underway with a preliminary alignment presented on October 30, 2019.[5][6]

As part of the Stage 2 extensions, accommodations are also being made for several future infill stations including three on the Trillium Line between Limebank and Bowesville, and three on the extended Confederation Line.[7][8]
Notes
- As part of Stage 2, a second platform will be built on the Trillium Line level making both sets of platforms at this station Side platforms.
- Both options were presented in the preliminary design, which will be narrowed down to a single option as the environmental assessment continues.
