Pacific Central Station

Story

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. The station also provides intercity coach service, being the head office and bus depot of Pacific Coach Lines and the main Vancouver terminal for Greyhound Canada. The station is wheelchair-accessible and is staffed with full Via services.The Amtrak Cascades provides two daily 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.

Came here for the early morning Amtrak Cascades train #517 heading south towards Seattle, WA and Portland, OR. Station is clean, spacious, and organized. Arrived an hour prior to departure with boarding starting about 45 minutes before departure. There didn't seem many stores open that early, but I didn't walk around.nnPersonnel were nice and friendly. Going through customs was fast and easy. From time the boarding started, I was in my seat within 10 minutes. Was an easy and simple process boarding a train here.
Pacific Central Station it's one of the historic buildings in the city of Vancouver more than 100 years old It was built nicely and kept with stone architecture.nOriginally was built for Canadian railways and right now it's servicing via Ray Canada Amtrak rail from us Plus Greyhound and Bolt Buses so whether you traveling by train or with any bus company this is the location for getting in or dropping off at the end of your destination in Vancouver.nIt's a very clean place and the staff is very friendly and helpful to all visitors.
Super convenient location, walking distance to downtown. The only downside of the station is that walking nearby the station alone at night might be a bit nerve wrecking with quite some homeless people gathering around the station.
Not a huge train station but clean and comfortable. Lots of seats. Some padded some just wooden benches. We disembarked off a cruise line and had tickets to train back to Seattle. But we had a 6 Hour wait. YES they do allow you to store luggage at the main train ticket counter for $5 $6 Canadian each piece of luggage. That allowed us to walk over to McDonald’s. Prepare to see a lot of drug addicts and homelessness across the park and by McDonald’s. But none in the station. A&W food/drinks open between 7:30-5:30nCoffee shop at the other end and a small gift shop. Subway station is just a block away. Cool Kids Science Place built back in 1986 for the Worlds Expo is just a few block walk maybe 15 min.nSubway Sandwich place within a block as well.nBus station is out back as well.
This is a nice spacious and open building where you go through Canadian Customs if you arrive from the US. You can also exchange currency. Staff are polite and helpful. You can call for a cab on a wall phone near the front door; but the phone does not actually connect you with a cab company, but instead just gives you a recorded message with different ways for you to then contact the cab company on your own phone or online. I don’t know why that phone does not just connect you with a cab company directly.
