Carleton station is the middle station on Trillium Line and situated right next to the busy university of the same name. The station is the biggest after Bayview and it takes some time to get from one platform to the other. The decorations of the eastern platform look quite beautiful.
Carleton station is a great station serving Line 2 that provides easy access to Carleton students from all over Ottawa. It is the only Line 2 station (so far) with two platforms, always with a train frequency of every 12 minutes. The location of this station serves particularly well for students living at Envie student housing, which is right beside Carling station and one stop away from Carleton. It also provides quick access to downtown (such as the Rideau Centre) for students on campus, as they can take the train to Bayview and transfer to Line 1.
HOWEVER, Line 2 will be closing down in May 2nd, 2020 for construction to expand the line. The replacement service will be the R2 bus serving the same stations as Line 2. We’ll see Carleton station again in 2.5 years, with new connections to Ottawa!
They get packed in the morning and peak hours. During the summer and non-peak hours, it isn't packed. Incidents are very rare.
O-train comes right to campus, always bustling campus but it has a quiet feeling to it. Gorgeous campus because it's sprawling and right on the river. I loved being a student here. They have good campus bars too - Mike's is cozy and has good food and good beer. I always had a good experience with profs as well. I feel very lucky to have gone to Carleton and have such a great university in my home city.
Carleton O Train is very convenient for students as it directly links the school to a grocery store among other things. The Walmart supercenter has many stores which fit every need. The train is consistently on time and always clean. Only issue may come around 9 and 6 which I have found to be peak times used by students. Can get a little crowded but usually has enough seating
