[edit] Location
Surrey Central Station is located in downtown Surrey, between the Central City Shopping Centre (formerly Surrey Place Mall) and the North Surrey Recreation Centre. Located near the mall is the Surrey campus of Simon Fraser University.
[edit] History
Surrey Central Station was opened in 1992 when the system was extended into Surrey's city centre. Over the years, the area has earned itself a reputation for being unsafe and as a centre for crime, both for violence and drug trafficking. The name "Surrey Central" was given after an ad was placed in the local paper calling to residents in coming up with an appropriate name. Winners received a City of Surrey mug, a letter of thanks, and a T-Shirt with a vision of Surrey on the front of it. Previous to the SkyTrain, "Surrey Central" was a bus loop known as "Whalley Exchange" as the area was and is still commonly known today as "Whalley".
[edit] Services
Surrey Central Station is a connection point for twenty-one TransLink bus routes that service Surrey, White Rock, North Delta, Ladner, Tsawwassen, and Langley, the highest number of any connection point in the system. The station is the second station running from King George Station in Surrey to Waterfront Station in Vancouver.
