Vancouver's Hidden Transit

In a few years, you'll be able to ride SkyTrain all the way into Langley, passing by one of Cloverdale's quiet landmarks: the Honeybee Centre. However, if you go just the building, you'll notice a road that runs on an angle, which is odd considering most of Surrey's roads tend to run in cardinal directions save for Fraser Highway and a few others.

Harvie Rd. is a shortcut from Port Kells to the rest of Surrey, but its origins as a road do not come from being a shortcut but instead a railway. There are a few roads that do not conform to the grid system and they too share this history as well.

If you were to pull up information about the Millennium Line, you'd soon come across its opening date of January 7th, 2002. With that known, you'd then say that every station opened then as being the oldest.

This assumption is fairly safe as the line itself is a relatively new railway. Unlike the Expo Line, much of the initial alignment did not make use of a another railway's existing or former right of way. This means that stations such as Sperling-Burnaby Lake or Lougheed Town Centre have no real historical reference.

However, this is not entirely true for all of the stations which opened in 2002.
