History
The station commenced operations on June 16, 1996, coinciding with the North/South Line extension—later designated as the Blue Line—reaching the Old Town Transit Center. It underwent a temporary closure from May to August 2012 to facilitate upgrades as part of the Trolley Renewal Project.
Station layout
This facility comprises four tracks in total: two dedicated to trolley operations and two additional tracks that accommodate commuter trains, intercity services, and freight trains operated by BNSF.
Airport connection
Access to San Diego International Airport is available from this location. Since July 2015, shuttle buses connecting airport terminals and the rental car center have been accessible via a nearby bus stop. Passengers can board these shuttles at designated shelters located on Admiral Boland Way and West Palm Street, roughly southwest of the station.
