==Layout and services==
Gateway Station features three tracks – two for the original South Shore Line and one for West Lake Corridor services. An [[island platform]] between the rerouted main line tracks will serve as replacement for the old Hammond station, and will be connected via pedestrian walkway to a [[side platform]] along the single elevated West Lake Corridor track.<ref name=Bierschenk2020 />

West Lake Corridor trains are planned to either continue to Millennium Station at peak service hours or terminate here as [[short turn]]s at other times, with transfers available on the main line platform.<ref name=":2" /><ref name="2020FEIS" />
