Northfield will be a stop on the Region of Waterloo's Ion rapid transit system. It will be located on Northfield Drive in Waterloo, between Parkside Drive and the Conestoga Parkway, at the existing railway corridor. It is scheduled to open in 2018.
It marks a transition point between tracks running in the boulevard of a road - in the direction of the Conestoga terminus - and open tracks running in a railway corridor - in the direction of Uptown Waterloo. Just south of the station, the Waterloo Spur freight line merges with the southbound track; a short distance south of that, the line accesses the Operations, Maintenance and Storage Facility.
