History

When the Expo Line opened in 1985, an extension to Lougheed Mall in east Burnaby was proposed. When the line was extended to Scott Road Station in Surrey in 1990, a spur track was built just east of Columbia Station in anticipation of such an extension. Finally in the late 1990s, the British Columbia government announced that an entirely new line would be built from Vancouver to Columbia Station via Lougheed Mall (served by Lougheed Town Centre Station), as the first part of a future line extending into Coquitlam. The Expo Line is the oldest line in the SkyTrain rapid transit system in Greater Vancouver, Canada. ...
