A Brief History of Greater Vancouver The year 1915 also saw the opening of a new CPR station at the north foot of Granville Street and the creation of an industrial enclave from soil dredged out of False Creek, piled onto a mudflat, and proudly named Granville Island. An era could honestly be said to have ended when the last scheduled passenger train pulled out of the old CPR station on Cordova Street on October 27, 1979, just over 92 years since the first had pulled into town. Rea realized local people wanted war news, so from the day the station signed on (August 15, 1944) he started hourly newscasts and stayed on the air 24 hours a day. www.discovervancouver.com /GVB/history-of-vancouver.asp   (1003 words)

crows to burnaby - How clever, Translink. Using the destinations provided BY TRANSLINK in the drop-down menus, I decided to try to see if it'd be faster to take the 44 from UBC to Granville Station, or take the 99 and then transfer there.

Vancouver Only the first three or four stations — Waterfront, Burrard, Granville and Stadium — are of any practical use to the casual visitor, but the 39-minute trip along the twenty-station line is worth taking if only to see how the Canadians do these things — spotless interiors and Teutonic punctuality.
