Lougheed Town Centre Station
Encyclopedia : L : LO : LOU : Lougheed Town Centre Station
Lougheed Town Centre (sometimes abbreviated as Lougheed Station) is a Skytrain station in Burnaby, British Columbia.
Location
Lougheed Town Centre Station is located on an elevated portion of the Millennium Line. The station is part of Vancouver's Skytrain light rail rapid transit system, run by Translink.
The station is located on Lougheed Highway and Austin Road (the station actually straddles Austin) in Burnaby, British Columbia, and is directly adjacent to Lougheed Town Centre, a mid-size shopping mall, with stores like Wal-Mart, Safeway and London Drugs.
This station will be interchanged with the future western terminus of the Evergreen Line to be built and opened in 2009.
Services
The station is located near Lougheed Town Centre, the largest shopping center in North Burnaby. There is also a bus loop with routes including the 97 B-Line.Trivia
- There is a third platform on the westbound side of the track. It was constructed when a third SkyTrain line was planned. However, Translink decided to use light rail trams instead of conventional SkyTrain technology, so the platform now exists without any use, and it is likely that it may never be used. However, it is possible that the new Evergreen Line may use this extra platform when it is built in 2009. There are no actual tracks on that platform; however, junction tracks exist outside the station.
