The station lies at the heart of Richmond's commercial district, adjacent to the Richmond Centre shopping complex and Richmond City Hall. It is also conveniently accessible on foot from important locations such as Richmond Public Market, Richmond Hospital, and the Minoru civic complex, serving surrounding office buildings, retail spaces, and residential areas.
History
Richmond–Brighouse station commenced operations in 2009 with the launch of the Canada Line and was architected by VIA Architecture. In November 2019, construction began on a new bus loop located south of the station. This facility partially opened on October 19, 2020, initially accommodating routes 406 and 408. The entire bus exchange became fully operational on November 9, 2020, improving transit connections for passengers.
Station name
The name "Brighouse" was proposed by Richmond City Council to honor the local heritage. The neighbourhood takes its name from Samuel Brighouse, an early settler recognized as one of Vancouver's "The Three Greenhorns." Historically, from 1920 until 1941, the area was home to the Brighouse Racetrack.
Entrances
There is a single access point to Richmond–Brighouse station, located at the southern end of the station building.
