Initially, the Millennium Line service followed the Expo Line from Waterfront to Columbia stations, then looped back into Vancouver via the new route, passing through [[Commercial–Broadway station|Commercial–Broadway]] again at a different platform, and terminating at VCC–Clark station. After a reconfiguration on October 22, 2016, in preparation for the opening of the [[Evergreen Extension]], the Millennium Line ran between VCC–Clark station in the west to Lougheed Town Centre station in the east. Transfers to the Expo Line were now made possible at [[Production Way–University station|Production Way–University]] and [[Lougheed Town Centre station|Lougheed Town Centre]] stations. [[Braid station|Braid]] and [[Sapperton station|Sapperton]] stations were reassigned to the Expo Line.<ref>{{cite news |title=Changes Coming to SkyTrain October 22 |url=http://www.translink.ca/skytrainchanges |date=September 19, 2016 |work=TransLink |access-date=September 19, 2016}}</ref>
