Larkspur station

Larkspur station is a Sonoma–Marin Area Rail Transit station in Larkspur, California. The terminal station opened to revenue service on December 14, 2019. It is located from the Larkspur Landing ferry terminal, across Sir [Francis Drake Boulevard].

History

The rail corridor was established by the North [Pacific Coast Railroad], and a nearby stop called Greenbrae was served by Northwestern [Pacific Railroad interurban lines|Northwestern Pacific Railroad interurban] cars between 1903 and 1941.
The land for the station was acquired in 1983 by the Golden [Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District]. Initially part of the original plan for SMART's full buildout, its opening was delayed to a later date as the line's construction was split into phases. Until the line was extended, shuttle bus service connected the Larkspur Terminal with San [Rafael Transit Center].
Test trains on the extension began running on August 23, 2019. A preview excursion served as the station's inauguration on December 13, 2019, and revenue service began the following day.
