Mont-Royal train station was until 1992 a stop for
Via Rail passenger trains leaving or approaching Montreal's on this track. It continued to serve as a commuter train station on the Deux-Montagnes line until its closure. The Mascouche line started service on 1 December 2014. Beginning in May 2018, due to its 4-year-long process of being converted to light rapid transit, only one of its two platforms was used for travel in both directions; the same was true for its neighbouring station
Canora. Both stations were closed on May 20, 2019, and were replaced with a single temporary station called Canora—Mont-Royal. That station was closed and the section of the line shut down on May 11, 2020. The station was originally scheduled to reopen in 2024 as a light metro station in the second phase of the
Réseau express métropolitain, then it was later pushed back to November 2025. The REM station opened for regular service on November 17, 2025. The historic train station building still exists immediately to the west of the REM station; it currently hosts a restaurant. == Connecting bus routes ==
