New Westminster is a SkyTrain station in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Station Details

The station is located east of McNeely Street, south of Carnarvon Street, west of 8th Street, and north of Columbia Street in New Westminster. New Westminster Station was the terminus station from 1985 to 1989, when the line was extended to Columbia. Prior to the extension, a temporary platform stretched over the Waterfront bound tracks, expanding Platform 1. This temporary platform expansion was the first implementation of the Spanish Solution on the SkyTrain network. The temporary platform was removed to make way for track installation and testing for the extension to Columbia and on July 31, 1988.[1]

A time capsule is buried at New Westminster Station and is due to be opened on December 11, 2085, 100 years after the completion of SkyTrain.

The platform, concourse area, and various exits were remodeled and expanded in 2012 to incorporate the Shops at New West shopping centre. Shops that were on the concourse were removed to make way for the expanded concourse. Minor aesthetic works were also undertaken in 2012. From 2015 to 2016, the station received further upgrades with improvements to lighting, better ceiling acoustics to reduce SkyTrain noise, replacement of metal mesh panels to glass, and improved accessibility, as well as expanded integration to Shops at New West and the Plaza 88 development.

Bus Routes

Bus services pick up and drop off in the bus loop adjacent to the station and on the street. In the past before the Millennium Line was completed, New Westminster was a hub for Tri-Cities services. These services have since moved to Lougheed Town Centre and Braid.
