Stations

edit

The original SkyLine route serves four stations:[1]

The future SkyLine route will also serve four stations:

  • Terminal 1 (access to buses, long-distance train station and regional train station)
  • Terminal 1, Concourse C (future infill station)
  • Terminal 2
  • Terminal 3

When the future SkyLine route opens, there will be a direct connection between the two lines at Terminal 2 station, with a second connection at Terminal 1, Concourse C expected to be added in the future.
