Churchill station on the Capital Line
Churchill is a shared-trunk station on the Edmonton LRT, served by both the Capital Line and Metro Line. The two lines run on the same tracks through here, so you can board either from the same platform.
Churchill is also the one place the rest of the network meets the Valley Line: it is about a 4-minute walk across the plaza between the underground station and the street-level Churchill stop.
On weekdays the first Capital Line train leaves Churchill at about 5:27 am and the last at about 1:33 am. At the morning rush trains come every 6 minutes; at midday, every 10. There is no overnight LRT — ETS runs OWL night buses once the trains stop.
Like every station on the Edmonton LRT, Churchill is step-free: there are elevators or ramps from street level to the platform, and the trains are level with the platform edge.
A ride from here costs $3.00 — one flat fare, the same however far you go and wherever you tap on. It buys you 90 minutes of travel, so any transfers to another train or a bus within that window are free.
