History
Richmond–Brighouse station was opened in 2009 along with the rest of the Canada Line and was designed by the architecture firm VIA Architecture. Construction of a new bus loop directly south of the station began in November 2019 and partially opened on October 19, 2020, for the 406 and 408 buses. The exchange was fully opened on November 9, 2020.Station name
Richmond City Council proposed that the name "Brighouse" be used as the name of the station, since Brighouse is a historic name for the surrounding neighbourhood, thus reflecting the area's heritage. The area was named after an early settler, Samuel Brighouse, who was one of " The Three Greenhorns" of Vancouver. From 1920 until 1941, the area was the location of a horse-racing track known as Brighouse Racetrack.Station information
