New Westminster Station

This will likely be 5-​star once the construction around the area is done. Currently it is a bit of a mess, trying to get to the station gates.
The best part of the station is the little mall built around it where you can get your basic stuff here, including watching a movie.
CIBC and RBC are here, as are Safeway and Shoppers’ Drug Mart. There are a few eateries around for bubble tea, pizza, Chinese noodles, sushi and a bar/​restaurant which looks over the Fraser River and railway track. Starbucks and Tim Hortons are also there if you need caffeine. There is also a spa.
This is also a good transfer point to get to either the Millennium or Expo line.
Parking entrance is through Carnavon Street.

This station is like a mini mall or very mini mini mall. There is a Safeway and theatre here. Also there is parking underneath the skytrain. It’s basically a central station with buses underneath as well. It’s located in a pretty convenient location.
The mini mall that is part of this station has store ranges from cellphone carriers to restaurants to Safeway.

I have no real reason to come to this station other than to go to some shops in the area and to check out the newly designed train mall. It is appreciated that there is a Safeway down below, a Starbucks and a movie theater, however, this is a place you can go once a year. The best part is that there is a Dollar Store in the station!!!

I am here twice and day almost every day and I am almost always surprised at how far this area has come. I love that I can get off the train, pick up some groceries, get a prescription and any number of other things all in one place. If you haven’t made it here yet there is the movie theatres, the Safeway, a Shoppers Drug Mart, a Liquor Store, a Dollar Store and a few banks and eateries. It’s amazing the transformation.
Although up until recently this place has been a bit of a death trap for me ha ha. I have fallen twice, once on slush and once on a rained on decal they had on the cement to make the area look nice. I have since let the powers that be know and they have been removed. I feel much safer now.

New West Station is like a butterfly that has transformed.
This place used to be a dump. Now it’s been upgraded, and I feel safe walking here at night alone!
This station is now home to cinemas, restaurants (like sushi), groceries, banks, a dollar store, a special fx school, and a tim hortons. They even have some benches outside to sit and chill, or put down those groceries for a moment.
I wish I could see similar transformations in some of the other stations. Clean, and safe, and maybe with some place to grab a coffee after you miss your bus? Yea… If only

As stations go this place has had an 360 overhaul! 10 Cinema’s, 2 Starbucks, Safeway, RBC, CIBC, Shoppers Drug Mart, A&W and soon to be Tim Hortons!
