Surfliner resumes Santa Barbara-San Diego service

Amtrak has resumed daily train service between Santa Barbara and San Diego after six months of track repairs in Orange County. 

Passengers were previously required to take a bus connection between the Irvine and Oceanside stations. The daily schedule will remain the same, with 10 daily round trips between Los Angeles and San Diego. 

While the Orange County section is now open, construction is expected to continue in the area through June, including installing permanent fencing between the slope and railroad tracks. The 351-mile railway is used for passengers and freight trains, moving $1 billion in goods annually.
