Middletown is a station of the Green Line on the San Diego Trolley. It is located in a narrow strip of land between San Diego International Airport and Interstate 5. It also serves crowded residential area in the Middletown neighborhood, which includes a variety of medium-density housing within blocks of the station. This station opened in June 1996 as part of the Blue Line (then called the North/South Line) extension to the Old Town Transit Center.[1]

The station was closed from May 21[2] through August 2012[3] for renovations as part of the Trolley Renewal Project.[4]

On September 2, 2012, service to this station was replaced by the Green Line, when the Blue Line's northern terminus was truncated to the America Plaza station as part of a system redesign.[5] Blue Line service at this station will resume when the Mid-Coast Trolley extension is completed by 2021.[6]

Passengers access the shuttle from the station by proceeding one block southwest on W. Palm Street. The shuttle runs while the airport is open.
