On November 12, 2010, Via Rail unveiled a design for a new station building, which was built next to the existing station. The new building was estimated to cost $9 million CDN, is wheelchair accessible, and contains a new island/boarding platform to accommodate expanded track lines with an overhead footbridge.[1]

COVID-19 pandemic service reductions

Cobourg station departures were reduced due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. The first train of the morning (Train 651), which many used to commute to work in Toronto, was eliminated from the schedule.[2] While Via Rail announced a full restoration of service on its network as of the end of June 2022, Train 651 service currently remains under review.[3]
