UC San Diego Health La Jolla (San Diego Trolley Blue Line)

UC San Diego Health La Jolla is an elevated station on the Blue Line. This station is on a section of line where the tracks are running just south of city streets in an east-west direction. The station is the most northern stop on the Blue Line and the entire San Diego Trolley network with the line curving south again down to the final two stops. The station services an unprecedented two Hospitals, UC San Diego Health La Jolla is a five minute walk south of the station down Campus Point Drive, Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla is an equidistant, just north of the station.

The station straddles Campus Point Drive just south of the intersection of Campus Point Drive that turns 90 degrees, from the southern side of the intersection to the eastern side of the intersection, with Voigt Drive and the driveway into a charter school. The elevated structure contains two side platforms for the two-track line that are divided by a fence between the tracks. Each platform contains two brown shelter structures, and pedestrian grade crossings at each end of the platforms.

All access to the platforms is from the San Ysidro-bound side of the station. At the eastern (UTC-bound) end of the platform a single elevator staircase leads down to the SE corner of the Campus Point Drive intersection. At the western end of the platform, there is an elevator and staircase down to the SW corner, from here a pedestrian bridge leads across Voigt Drive to an elevator and staircase down to the NW corner of this intersection. Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla is on the other side of this parking garage, a five minute walk from this station entrance.

A platform sign and Blue emergency call box (probably linked to the UC Campus system, these aren't standard at trolley stations).

S70 #5033 leaves to head to UTC running 9 minutes late, which made this trolley quite crowded with a 21 minute gap in service.
