These are good ideas. A little place to eat would be great. Charles Street Terminal had the Transfers bar/restaurant - while it wasn't great, it was still a very popular place for a lot of people. Having a café for really quick items or a small restaurant for people would be really useful. Forgot breakfast? No worries, grab a bagel before you sit on the GO Train. Something other than a major corporate chain would be nice, but even a Subway, McDonalds etc would be useful for people.
A small general shop could be a useful thing, too. In Germany most of the train stations had a shop called REWE To Go, which was like a tiny grocer with mostly convenience items and a few traditional groceries. Wine, sandwiches, fruits, snacks, cigarettes, newspapers. Whatever you needed was there.
Something financial could be useful too, although I doubt there would be enough travelers using this train station that would warrant a bank or financial service company.
Indeed, especially for employees traveling, when I travel to Toronto I usually expense breakfast (getting up for a 6:40 train after all), so if I could get it getting on the train, that would be excellent.
Honestly, it's strange that it is not planned IMO.
