As part of Metrolink’s SCORE program more frequent train service is planned over the coming 8 years on Metrolink lines.With improvements and better joint scheduling between LA Metro, Metrolink and Norwalk transit it would be possible to greatly increase ridership between Metrolink and the Green Line. But also the 91/Perris Valley trains as well, while the Surfliner travels through but doesn’t stop at Norwalk.
Metrolink not only has service at Norwalk on the Orange County Line. Between 2 to 4 Route 4 buses are run an hour in each direction during the workweek between the Metrolink Station and the Green Line Station. Norwalk Transit already has Norwalk Greenline Station service on its Routes 2, 5 and 7. What is largely ignored is how frequent Norwalk Transit bus service there is to the Norwalk Green Line Station. In the background is a viaduct for the 4 tracks to the station.įrom the Metrolink Station I would ride back to the Green Line Station by Norwalk bus transit and hop on the Green Line to at least the Aviation/LAX station with bus connections to LAX. The Norwalk Transportation Center/ Metrolink station next to Imperial Highway. So I paid extra and got a one way ticket on the next Surfliner to Los Angeles which arrived well before Metrolink 687. But I really wanted to go to Los Angeles that morning. For lack of a dollar bill, I couldn’t get a ticket nor had time to walk to the other ticket machine and get back before train 800 departed. The ticket machine accepted my paper bills, but rejected my coins. As I was ordering my ticket the machine rejected my attempts to pay by credit or debit card.
The two ticket machines at Oceanside are old and get a lot of use. As it is I got to the Metrolink ticket machine about 5 minutes before departure. Needless to say even though I thought I left with plenty of time to buy my ticket and catch my train I was getting worried that I would miss my train. But what is happening is increasing rush hour traffic during the weekday mornings in Oceanside. I usually don’t drive to downtown Oceanside in the early morning during the workweek. Which is Metrolink 800 due out of Oceanside at 7:39 AM with connections to Los Angeles at Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo at 8:43 AM on train 687. So I recently got up early to catch my favorite economical train. It had been a while since I had ridden the train to Los Angeles.
