Douglas station is an elevated light rail station on the C Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. It is located over Douglas Street, after which it is named, near Park Place and one block north of Rosecrans Avenue in El Segundo, California. It opened with the commencement of Green Line service on August 12, 1995.[3]

The station was initially named Douglas/Rosecrans Ave but was later simplified to Douglas in 2003.[4] [5] This station was renovated in 2006 as part of street improvements in the area.

Under current Metro plans, the C and K Lines will be restructured by the end of 2024; Douglas station will be served by the K Line, while the C Line will be rerouted to terminate at the future LAX/Metro Transit Center station.[6]

The train platform, currently suitable for two-car trains, is planned to be lengthened by 2028 to accommodate longer three-car trains.[7] [8]
