30th & Downing station (sometimes styled as 30th•Downing) is a RTD light rail station in the Five Points neighborhood of Denver, Colorado, United States. Originally operating as part of the D Line, the station was opened on October 8, 1994, and is operated by the Regional Transportation District.^[4]^[5] It is the current northern terminus for Five Points trains.^[6] Currently there is only one track on Welton Street for light rail trains, necessitating track sharing for trains in both directions between here and 20th & Welton. Therefore, only one line serves this station and all stations on the Five Points branch.^[6]

History

Along with the rest of the central rail line, 30th·Downing opened in 1994.

The January 14, 2018, service changes introduced the L Line, which now serves this station in place of the D Line.^[7]
