One of the original Expo line stations, located at, you guessed it, Nanaimo Street (and 24th…read moreAvenue). This station is pretty unchanged since it was first built, so it has the "futuristic" 1980s look. 2 platforms, 2 train directions. No escalators, but there are elevators somewhere I assume. Not sure what else to say. Station gets the job done.

One of the original (Expo line) stations, on Royal Oak near Rumble…read more There is a passenger pickup area to the SE of the station, which is nice. This station is pretty old and dumpy. Pretty much unchanged since the 1980s. Futuristic look back then. Now it looks like a worn down space station. To be honest, the station itself isn't very good for several reasons. First, it doesn't actually span the road - the entrances are only on the E side. Secondly, the original station was obviously built without accessibility in mind. The staircases are narrow and steep. There are also no escalators. Looks like they added a ramp as part of a later series of renovations. Lastly, the platform area is pretty cramped. Yes it does the job, but it's definitely not one of the nicer stations in the network.

Aberdeen Station is the main SkyTrain station if you are heading to Richmond's Golden Village. This…read moreis an elevated station that is above street level of No. 3 Road. It is named after the nearby shopping mall, Aberdeen Centre. The location of this station is convenient as it convenient to numerous Asian shopping malls in the area. In addition to the aforementioned Aberdeen Centre, it is within walking distance of Yaohan Centre, President Plaza and Parker Place. If you are looking for good Chinese food, you will find plenty of it in the vicinity of this station. On my last trip to Richmond, I ended up using this station the most. The hotel (Pacific Gateway) in Richmond I was staying at had an airport shuttle, but didn't have one for Richmond. So I ended up walking to and from here quite often when I wanted to head north to Vancouver. While I would have liked this station to have been closer, it was still within reasonable walking distance and it was only about a 20 minute walk. The waiting times at this station are a bit longer than at the previous station (Bridgeport) because the southbound Canada Line splits off with one part headed to this station, while the other one is YVR bound. Still the waiting time during the daytime is 6 minutes at the most which seems reasonable. If you need to get to and from Richmond's Golden Village from downtown Vancouver, I would recommend taking a SkyTrain to this station as it is convenient and has frequent train service.

The station platform is elevated though not completely enclosed. It's going to be cold cold cold in the winter months here! Joyce-Collingwood is on the Expo line of the SkyTrain. It opened in 1985 and has had a number of improvements and redesigns since. The station is step free with both an elevator on one end and escalators on both ends. It has the usual ticket vending machine in the ticketing lobby and turnstiles to ensure that all patrons are paying their way. The platform is an island with the tracks on each side and an overhead monitor on each to indicate when the next three trains are due. I did not notice any audio announcements. Being on the Expo line, it's direct from here into downtown Vancouver. The station is between 29th Avenue (towards Waterfront) and Patterson (towards King George or Production Way-University). It is one of the busiest stations on the network with a bus station at ground level and both times I visited, there were plenty of people coming and going or connecting to buses. The station itself was clean with no trash or litter though the ground outside could use some picking up. [Review 20862 overall - 39 in British Columbia - 1846 of 2023.]

Really busy SkyTrain station at the intersection of Commercial and E Broadway…read more Even though they've done quite a few improvements over the years including the addition of a 3rd platform, this thing still gets seriously packed during rush hour, when the hordes all pile in trying to get into or out of downtown. I still get confused here and there trying deal with the Expo line. Be sure to follow the signage. One peculiar thing I've noticed is that people will zip through the train (in one side and out the other side) to skip to an adjacent platform. Haven't figured out what they're trying to do just yet. Guess I shouldn't really be complaining. Busy is good.

I wouldn't have know there was even actually a business page set up for this station unless I did a…read moresearch on my Yelp app to check-in (await the check-in whores now!) but I review anything and everything and this is one of the busiest stations on the old Skytrain line. Finally had a chance to see what they are planning to implement moving forward on the new fare 'gate' system, and I will hold judgement till they are fully implemented, as I see a log jam that will be happening during peak hours. This station is a corridor, as it has an intersecting station (Commercial) where the Millenium line comes in. Also in the busy weekday mornings people line up on Broadway to catch the B-Line to UBC. The amount of people that come through here is (for Vancouver standards) a lot! This area was definitely a lot darker back in the day, with people begging for money around the station, and the normal small drug deal around the corner, with the addition of the Millenium line brought some new businesses that cleaned up this place. The station does look it's age on the old Broadway side but it's an important station for Transit. During the peak hours just remember your lining up, whether it's for the next train, or the next bus, just remember to try to be couteous to others, and let others off first before you go charging up onto your transit option!

There are display screens noting the next arrival and an overhead announcement too. I would imagine that it gets quite cold on that platform in the winter, but my visit in summertime was just fine.
