History[]
Royal Oak station was opened in 1985 as part of the original SkyTrain system (now known as the Expo Line). The Austrian architecture firm Architektengruppe U-Bahn was responsible for designing the station.[2][3]

This service was discontinued and replaced with an Expo Line branch to Production Way–University station in 2016.
