Burrard Station
Encyclopedia : B : BU : BUR : Burrard Station
Burrard Station is a SkyTrain station in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, served by the Expo and Millennium Lines. The station is located in the Dunsmuir Tunnel located beneath Downtown Vancouver, and opened in 1985.
Location
Burrard Station is located in the heart of Vancouver's Financial District and is very close to Coal Harbour and the Central Waterfront. The station is accessible from the surface via an entrance through a small park named Discovery Square at the corner of Burrard and Dunsmuir Streets, or via the underground shopping malls of the Royal Centre and Bentall Centre office complexes.
Services
Burrard Station is one of five SkyTrain stations serving Downtown Vancouver. It connects with many TransLink bus routes heading for North and West Vancouver, Richmond (including the 98 B-Line), Delta, Surrey, and White Rock.
Design
Like Granville Station, Burrard Station has a distinctive platform design. The westbound track (to Waterfront Station) is stacked on top of the eastbound track (to King George and VCC-Clark Stations), with the westbound platform being one level above the eastbound platform.
The structure housing the surface station entrance was designed to resemble Victorian-era British railway stations, with a peaked glass roof.
