The Pacific Surfliner offers great service, style and amenities as it travels the Southern California coast between San Luis Obispo and San Diego.
Onboard the Surfliner you'll find modern bi-level cars featuring large panoramic windows, comfortable, custom-designed interiors, automatic doors for faster boarding, and a spacious Cafe car serving a variety of fresh sandwiches, snacks and beverages.
Upgrade to Pacific Business Class
Pacific Business Class passengers enjoy outlets at every seat for laptop computers and other personal electronic devices, more legroom, plus complimentary light snacks, beverages and newspapers.
Bring Your Bike or Surfboard!
Most Pacific Surfliners are equipped with bicycle and surfboard racks allowing you to bring your bike onboard, unboxed as carry-on baggage. See more information about bringing bikes aboard.
Frequent Trains
The Pacific Surfliner offers twelve daily round-trip journeys between San Diego and Los Angeles, and between Santa Barbara and San Diego. Whatever your travel plans, you're sure to find a departure time that meets your needs.
Rail 2 Rail Makes the Going Easier
Southern California travelers have even more options with the Amtrak/Metrolink/Coaster Rail 2 Rail program. Pacific Surfliner tickets are valid on Metrolink and Coaster trains. See our Rail 2 Rail page for more information. Multi-ride passes are also available.
The Pacific Surfliner is financed and operated in partnership with the State of California.
