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 and—from October 22, 2016, until the opening of the Evergreen Extension on December 2 of that same year—the station served as the interim terminus of the new 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.
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, referred to colloquially as Korea Town, exists in the area surrounding North Road south of Lougheed Highway.
The station is served by a bus loop, and was the terminus for the 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.
