Pacific Central Station in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada is a railway station which acts as the western terminus of Via Rail's cross-country ''The Canadian'' to Toronto and the northern terminus of Amtrak’s ''Cascades'' to Seattle and Portland. Pacific Central Station is adjacent to the Vancouver SkyTrain Main Street – Science World Station. Westbound trains go into downtown near hotels, businesses and other attractions. End of the line is at Waterfront Station (formerly the Canadian Pacific station), offering connections to the Seabus, West Coast Express commuter trains and other bus lines. Eastbound locals head into the suburbs, such as Burnaby and New Westminster. The station also provides intercity coach service, being the head office and bus depot of Pacific Coach Lines〔(Pacific Coach - Head Office )〕 and the main Vancouver terminal for Greyhound Canada.〔(Greyhound Canada: Vancouver Main Terminal )〕 Also Malaspina bus, which serves the Sunshine Coast communities of Gibsons, Sechelt and Powell River. The station is wheelchair-accessible and is staffed with full Via services. The ''Amtrak Cascades'' provides two round trips from Vancouver. One goes to Seattle, Washington; the other continues on to Portland, Oregon. Rather than stopping for an immigration inspection at the border, as happens with the ''Adirondack'' to Montreal and ''Maple Leaf'' to Toronto, Amtrak passengers go through Canadian customs at the station upon arrival. Passengers bound for the United States go through United States border preclearance prior to boarding in Vancouver. The Rocky Mountaineer operated from Pacific Central Station until moving to the nearby Rocky Mountaineer Station in 2005; they began to use Pacific Central Station again for their new Coastal Passage route in 2013. The station is used for the international trip section between Vancouver and Seattle. While the route section between Vancouver to Jasper and Banff operates out of the Rocky Mountaineer Station. The building was designated a heritage railway station in 1991.〔 On November 8, 2010, the Canadian government announced a $5.1 million plan to rebuild parts of the station, including refurbishing windows, masonry, and the roof of the building. ==See also== *List of heritage buildings in Vancouver *Main Street – Science World Station 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pacific Central Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
