Millennium Line operates from VCC–Clark station in Vancouver to Lafarge Lake–Douglas station in Coquitlam.

Westbound Millennium Line trains crossed over to left-hand running just south of Burquitlam station, which allowed them to access westbound Platform 2 at Lougheed Town Centre station.

In 1995, the British Columbia government announced that an entirely new line, a street-level light rail line, would be built along Broadway and Lougheed Highway to Lougheed Mall, as the first phase of the "T"-Millennium Line outlined in the Metro Vancouver's Livable Region Strategic Plan that extended into Coquitlam.

Switches to the Millennium Line were installed on the Expo Line just east of Columbia station.
