Lougheed Town Centre (sometimes abbreviated as Lougheed) is a station on the SkyTrain rapid transit system in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and was constructed as part of the Millennium Line. A reorganization of SkyTrain service patterns in 2016 brought a branch of the Expo Line over the existing tracks to also serve the station. From October 22, 2016, until the opening of the Evergreen Extension on December 2 of that same year, it briefly served as the outbound terminus of the updated Millennium Line service.

It is currently one of three stations where transfer between the Expo Line and the Millennium Line is possible. The other two points of transfer are Commercial–Broadway and Production Way–University.

Location

The station is located on Lougheed Highway in an elevated structure across Austin Road in Burnaby, and is directly adjacent to Lougheed Town Centre, a mid-size shopping mall, from where it takes its name. A large Korean neighbourhood exists in the area surrounding North Road south of Lougheed Highway and north of Highway 1.

Services

The station is served by a bus loop, and was the terminus for the defunct 97 B-Line, which connected to Coquitlam Central. Other bus connections to Burnaby, New Westminster, Port Moody, and Coquitlam areas make Lougheed station a major transportation hub for the area and one of the busiest stations on the Millennium Line.

On October 22, 2016, Expo Line service commenced at the station, with trains to travelling between Waterfront and Production Way–University.^[1]

Evergreen Extension

An unfinished third platform had been roughed in on the east side of the station during its construction, in anticipation of a future connection for a SkyTrain extension to Coquitlam. The provincial government postponed the extension in the early 2000s, and in the interim TransLink decided to use light rail technology for the alignment instead of Bombardier's Advanced Rapid Transit technology (as used on SkyTrain's Expo and Millennium lines), rendering the roughed-in platform and the adjacent switches obsolete. However, the provincial government announced new plans for the line in 2008, including the use of SkyTrain technology, so this third platform is now used to connect to the Evergreen Extension stations. It allows Millennium Line trains to run seamlessly between VCC–Clark and Lafarge Lake–Douglas station.

Construction began in mid-2012, and on December 2, 2016, the Evergreen Extension opened.^[2] In preparation for the Evergreen Extension, on October 22, 2016, the Millennium Line route no longer interlined with the Expo Line between Columbia and Waterfront, nor served Braid or Sapperton. Instead, the Expo Line now branches at Columbia toward Sapperton, then Braid, and interlines with the Millennium Line between this station and Production Way–University, while Millennium Line (which caused the 97 B-Line to close on December 19, 2016) connects VCC–Clark and Lafarge Lake–Douglas in Coquitlam.
