The Los Angeles – San Diego – San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) Rail Corridor Agency (Agency) today announced that the Amtrak® Pacific Surfliner® train service has added more daily roundtrips between Los Angeles and San Diego, offering travelers greater flexibility and convenience along the Southern California coastal rail corridor. The expanded Pacific Surfliner schedule introduces new afternoon and evening travel options, providing better connections for both business and leisure passengers along the busiest state-supported intercity passenger rail route in the nation.

Effective June 16, 2025, the Pacific Surfliner schedule will feature an additional southbound and northbound train:

• Southbound Train 582: Departs Los Angeles Union Station at 4:10 p.m., arriving at San Diego Santa Fe Depot at 7:04 p.m.
• Northbound Train 593: Departs San Diego Santa Fe Depot at 8:10 p.m., arriving at Los Angeles Union Station at 10:57 p.m.

These additional roundtrips fill key gaps in the schedule, giving customers more flexibility to travel at times that better fit their plans. With tracks now fully open throughout the San Diego to San Luis Obispo corridor, Pacific Surfliner now offers 12 daily roundtrips between San Diego and Los Angeles, five daily roundtrips between San Diego and Goleta and three daily full-corridor roundtrips between San Diego and San Luis Obispo. In addition, Amtrak Thruway Bus Service offers guaranteed connections to Pacific Surfliner trains, extending travel options north to Oakland through Santa Barbara, Solvang, San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles, and southeast to Indio through Fullerton, Riverside, Palm Springs and Palm Desert.

The Pacific Surfliner route spans 351 miles through six counties, serving 29 stations from San Diego to San Luis Obispo. This schedule change marks a continued effort by the LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency and its partners to enhance regional rail service and improve customer experience. It represents another step toward fully restoring service to levels that existed on the corridor prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, which included 13 daily Pacific Surfliner roundtrips along this segment of the corridor.  

All Pacific Surfliner trains feature comfortable, reclining seats with power outlets, complimentary Wi-Fi, bike and luggage racks, and a Market Café offering food and beverages, including California wines and local craft beer.
