The Los Angeles –San Diego –San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) Rail Corridor Agency has announced a new daily Amtrak Pacific Surfliner roundtrip between Los Angeles and San Diego. The additional frequencies offer travelers more flexibility and convenience within one of the nation’s busiest and most scenic intercity rail routes.
“This added service represents a significant step forward for mobility in Southern California,” LOSSAN Agency Chair and City of Fullerton Mayor Fred Jung said in a statement. “With the 13th roundtrip, riders have more options for commuting, business travel, and leisure trips along our coast.”
Effective January 26, 2026, the Pacific Surfliner schedule will adjust to reduce wait times between trains along the corridor. Frequent riders can preview the new schedule and plan their next trip. Passengers may also use code V526 to receive a 20 percent discount on Pacific Surfliner rides between January 26, 2026 and March 13, 2026.
“Adding the 13th roundtrip between Los Angeles and San Diego marks a significant milestone in fully restoring pre-pandemic service levels,” said LOSSAN Managing Director Jason Jewell. “This additional roundtrip provides travelers with more options to choose the travel times that work best for them.”
With the added service, Pacific Surfliner operations now include:
- 13 daily roundtrips between Los Angeles and San Diego
- Five daily roundtrips between San Diego and Goleta
- Three full-corridor daily roundtrips between San Diego and San Luis Obispo
These frequencies match the service levels offered prior to the pandemic. This was made possible by a $27.1 million grant through the FRA’s Restoration and Enhancement (R&E) Grant Program.
Riders will also continue to benefit from Amtrak Connection bus service, providing connections north to Oakland and southeast to Indio, extending access to destinations including Solvang, Paso Robles, Riverside, Palm Springs, and Palm Desert.
