ORANGE, Calif. — Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner will add a 13th daily Los Angeles-San Diego round trip on Jan. 26, restoring operation to pre-pandemic levels, the LOSSAN Corridor Agency announced today (Jan. 13, 2026).
Added will be a 7:01 a.m. departure from San Diego, arriving at LA Union Station at 9:57 a.m., and a 7:10 p.m. departure from LA, arriving in San Diego at 10:07 p.m. The new schedule is available here.
“Adding the 13th round trip between Los Angeles and San Diego marks a significant milestone in fully restoring pre-pandemic service levels,” LOSSAN Managing Director Jason Jewell said in a press release. “This additional round trip provides travelers with more options to choose the travel times that work best for them.”
The additional train is being funded by a $27.1 million grant from the Federal Railroad Administration’s Restoration and Enhancement Grant Program.
