West Dublin/Pleasanton is a BART station on the Dublin/Pleasanton–Daly City line, located in the median of I-580, just west of I-680, serving western Dublin and northern Pleasanton in the northwestern Livermore Valley.This station was an infill station that began revenue service almost 14 years after the rest of this portion of the Dublin/Pleasanton–Daly City line, opening on Saturday, with a ceremony taking place the day before.HistoryThe station was originally planned to enter into service as part of the original extension to Dublin/Pleasanton, which entered service in 1997. As a result, the station's foundation, along with some communication and train control facilities, already existed on-site.Construction on the station began on, and was slated to be complete in 2009, but possible faulty construction delayed its opening until 2011.Its cost was estimated at $106 million, with funding coming from a unique public-private partnership and the proceeds of planned transit-oriented development (TOD) on adjacent BART-owned property.This is BART's 44th station and is only the second infill station to be built in the system, the other being Embarcadero Station, which opened in 1976.
