Project details

Stations | Western Canada

Vancouver Station

The Vancouver Station building envelope has been treated to repair and restoration work on a large scale. The platform canopy got a makeover too, with new panels, support beams, lighting and photo displays. We’ve also improved security, upgrading gates, card locks, and surveillance cameras.

We’re in the business of getting you where you’re going, so we’ve invested in the details to make the trip even smoother. We’ve introduced new tow motors to speed up the baggage transfer process and increase volume, new luggage carts to keep the weight off your shoulders, added a new people mover and installed platform wheelchair lifts to transport passengers safely on and off the trains.
