The station platform can be accessed from stairs at the east end down to Hurontario, as well as two walkways under the tracks (one in the middle to the station building, and the other on the west end of the platform to the north side of the main parking lot), where a second smaller Passenger Pickup/Dropoff is located.

History
Cooksville GO Station opened on October 27, 1981 along with the rest of the Milton line. Located in a well developed neighbourhood as well as being the closest GO train station to Square One and Mississauga's City Centre, Cooksville has become one of the busiest stations on the GO network. Numerous parking expansions over the years has maximized its surrounding real estate, and plans are now in place to construct a parking garage to further expand parking capacity. The platform has also been expanded to accomodate 12-car trains, due to crowding conditions on the Milton line as well as the inability to add more trains onto CP's main freight line.
Miway used to offer a GO shuttle route (route 62) until it was discontinued in late October 2015 when route 28 started serving the GO station.
Connecting routes
MiWay routes 2 and 103 stop on Hurontario Street, and route 28 only serves the station during train times.
