NEW! SD to LA Express

Introducing the new San Diego to Los Angeles Express!

With less stopping and more going, Amtrak California’s new Pacific Surfliner San Diego to Los Angeles Express (SD to LA) service helps make your commute a little easier to take.

The new SD to LA Express Train (563) began operating Tuesday, February 15, 2011, and will operate Monday through Friday.

Express Train 563 replaces weekday Train 565 with fewer stops along the corridor. The Express Train departs San Diego’s Santa Fe Depot at 7:05 a.m. with stops in Solana Beach, Oceanside, Irvine, and Anaheim, before arriving at Los Angeles Union Station at 9:33 a.m.


VIEW SCHEDULE

Please note: Unlike Train 565, the new Express Train no longer stops in San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Niguel-Mission Viejo, Santa Ana, Orange and Fullerton. Train 565 will continue to operate on Saturdays and Sundays (only) with no change in service.

In addition, Metrolink Orange County Line Train 687 departs Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo at 8:33 a.m. instead of 8:20 a.m., arriving at Los Angeles Union Station at 9:55 a.m.

The SD to LA Express service is a regional cooperative pilot project between Caltrans, Amtrak, and local transportation agencies along the Pacific Surfliner corridor. Aligned with the strategic goals set forth by the Los Angeles - San Diego Rail Corridor, a Joint Powers Authority operating in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties, the SD to LA Express Train represents the beginning of many new enhancements to be implemented along the Pacific Surfliner rail corrirdor.
