[edit] 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 2011.
[edit] Services
The station is located near Lougheed Town Centre, the largest shopping centre in North Burnaby. There is also a bus loop with routes including the 97 B-Line.
[edit] Trivia
- There is a roughed-in third platform on the westbound side of the track which remains unbuilt. It was constructed when a third SkyTrain line was planned. However, the Provincial government of the day cancelled the proposed extension to Coquitlam using Skytrain technology and TransLink subsequently decided to use light rail trams instead of conventional SkyTrain technology. The roughed-in structure 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 incorporate this structure into its platform when it is built by 2011. There are no actual tracks leading to that platform; however, switches were installed outside the station prior to the cancellation of the extension project.
