Greenville Road station is a planned railway station in Livermore, California. It is intended to serve as a transfer point between the planned Valley Link system and the Altamont Corridor Express.[1]

Greenville Road's proximity to both Interstate 580 and the Union Pacific Railroad Oakland Subdivision made it a potential interchange point between a planned Bay Area Rapid Transit expansion and the Altamont Corridor Express.[2] When BART was forced to abandon its Livermore extension, planning for an interchange between the two systems was undertaken by the Tri-Valley-San Joaquin Valley Regional Rail Authority as part of Valley Link. Plans for the station include an elevated island platform between two newly built tracks north of the freeway. Walkways would allow connections to a side platform partially underneath the freeway along the Union Pacific line utilized by ACE. Rush hour short turn Valley Link trains would operate from here to Dublin/Pleasanton.[3] Service is expected to start as early as 2028.[4]
