Burbank Airport–North is a Metrolink rail station in the city of Burbank, California.[2] Passengers on the Antelope Valley Line, which travels between Lancaster, California and Union Station in downtown Los Angeles, can connect with the Hollywood Burbank Airport. The station is located near the intersection of San Fernando Boulevard and Hollywood Way and a free shuttle bus facilitates trips to the terminal located one-mile (1.6 km) from the station site.[3]
The station was given the name Bob Hope Airport–Hollywood Way during planning, but the name was changed prior to opening.[4][5][6]
History
In 2013, an environmental study was conducted as a prerequisite before construction could begin.[4] Groundbreaking for the station was held on June 21, 2013.[5] A metro.net factsheet dated April 2, 2015, said that construction was scheduled to begin in July 2015 with operations in April 2016.[6] By March 2017, construction had begun on the station.[7] Revenue service began May 14, 2018.[1]
