Location

Broadway is a Caltrain station in Burlingame, California. Caltrain only serves this stop on weekends and holidays. Weekday service is provided by a bus shuttle to Millbrae.

Northbound passengers must wait to the west of the southbound tracks until a northbound train stops at the station. Passengers then cross the southbound tracks to board northbound trains from a narrow center platform. Because of the narrow center platform for northbound passengers, a hold-out rule (GCOR 6.30) is in effect at this station: if a train is stopped for passengers, an approaching train in the opposite direction on the other track must wait outside the station. The resulting delays were the main reason that Broadway became a weekend-only station in August 2005, shortly after the Caltrain Express project was completed.

A free shuttle was implemented in lieu of weekday service and is provided between the Broadway and Millbrae stations during commute hours on weekdays. It is coordinated to arrive a few minutes before primarily limited-service local and Baby Bullet trains arrive at Millbrae. The shuttle has only two stops (at Broadway, behind the samTrans bus shelter; at Milbrae, west of the station in samTrans bus bay #13), and travels along California Avenue between the two stations, with a one-way ride scheduled to take five minutes.

After the electrification of Caltrain is completed, daily service is planned to be reinstated at Broadway. The nearby at-grade crossing for Broadway Avenue is planned to be grade-separated, with construction projected to start as early as 2025 if funding can be identified. The at-grade crossing has been identified as the second-most necessary grade separation among 10,000 at-grade crossings in California because it handles 70,000 vehicles per day, and city officials state it is the site of the worst traffic congestion in Burlingame. Grade separation is projected to cost $250 million.
