Coquitlam Central station is anintermodal rapid transit station inMetro Vancouver served by both theMillennium Line—part of theSkyTrain system—and the region'sWest Coast Expresscommuter rail system. The station is located on the north side of theCanadian Pacific Railway (CPR) tracks inCoquitlam, just west of theLougheed Highway rail overpass, near theCoquitlam Centre shopping mall. 601 parking spaces are available on site.[2] All services are operated byTransLink.
On December 2, 2016, the Millennium Line'sEvergreen Extension entered revenue service at the station, providing service toVCC–Clark in Vancouver andLafarge Lake–Douglas in Coquitlam.[3][4]
TheCanadian Pacific Railway brought the first passenger train service to the area in the 1880s, with the first permanent station built atFraser Mills in 1910, on the branch line toNew Westminster. The train was a vital factor in bringing new settlement, including loggers and their families, into the Coquitlam area.[5]
The area around Coquitlam Central station has been an important focal point for bus services since August 15, 1979, when bus services were rerouted to serveCoquitlam Centre shopping mall.[6] During this period, buses converged along Pinetree Way north of the intersection of Lougheed andBarnet Highway. On September 2, 1991,[7] a new bus exchange known as "Coquitlam Centre Transit Exchange" opened on the southwest corner of the intersection, in roughly the same location as the current exchange, which was rebuilt during construction of the adjacent West Coast Express station. Before the Evergreen Extension was opened, the bus exchange was known as "Coquitlam Station".
The train station opened in 1995, when the West Coast Express began operating, connectingVancouver withMission. The West Coast Express platform is located on the south side of the CPR tracks, accessed via a pedestrian tunnel.
