This line opened in December 2002. The line
starts at VCC/Clark, crossing under the Expo Broadway station at Commercial Drive, with a sky bridge
transfer. The line heads east to Burnaby. At Lougheed Town Center the line turns south. A future connection to a line
to Port Moody is here as well. The line then starts curving west to join
the original Expo Line at Columbia in New Westminster. Millennium Line
trains then continue their journey to downtown Vancouver along the Expo
Line to Waterfront station.
There are plans to extend the
Millennium Line west from VCC to at least Main St, then onto UBC along the
Broadway corridor.
New cars were acquired for this
line that are very different then the original cars on the Expo Line and
are dubbed Millennium cars. However trains of both types are seen on both
routes.
