James Bourchier Metro Station (Bulgarian: Метростанция "Джеймс Баучер") is a station on the Sofia Metro in Bulgaria, named after James David Bourchier. It opened on 31 August 2012. Bulgaria's PM Boyko Borisov and the President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso inaugurated the new section of the Sofia Metro, which was funded with EU money.[1][2] The initial project name of the Metro Station was Lozenets named after the neighbourhood Lozenets.
A park-and-ride underground facility with 650 parking lots was built along with the construction of the James Bourchier Station.[3]
