Central Station is an LRT station on the Capital Line in Edmonton, Alberta. It is an underground station located beneath Jasper Avenue between 100 Street and 101 Street.
History
Central Station was one of the original five stations when the line opened on April 22, 1978.[3] When the LRT first opened, Central Station was the original southern terminus.
ETS once operated a Transit Information kiosk at 100A Street and Jasper Avenue, above the station; however, it has since been relocated to City Hall. The building now serves as an entrance for users requiring an elevator to get to the station platform.
Station layout
The station has a 125-metre-long (410 ft) centre loading platform that can accommodate two five-car LRT trains at the same time, with one train on each side of the platform. At just under 8 m wide (26 ft), the platform is narrow by current Edmonton LRT design guidelines. Access to the platform is from the concourse level by stairs and escalators located at each end of the platform. The concourse level is part of the Edmonton pedway system.[4]
There is direct underground access to ATB Place, Scotia Place and Commerce Place from the station at the concourse level.
The station includes a mural installed to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Edmonton's LRT system.[5]
