History
Scott Road station was built in 1990 as part of the first extension of the original SkyTrain system (now known as the Expo Line). This extension included two stations: Scott Road and Columbia in neighbouring New Westminster. Scott Road station served as the eastern terminus of the Expo Line until a three-station extension to Surrey City Centre was completed in 1994.[2]
Scott Road station underwent several upgrades beginning in early 2013, improvements included a new elevator and better accessibly, as well as a new bus loop with an upgraded parking lot. These improvements were made in part of the larger Expo Line Upgrade project. Construction was completed in 2014.[3]
Services
