Los Angeles CA— On the weekends of January 12-13, February 9-10, March 2-3 and March 9-10, regular Metrolink service will only be available as far south as the Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo Metrolink Station on the Orange County (OC) and Inland Empire-Orange County (IEOC) lines. The tracks between the Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo and Oceanside stations will be closed.
The closure is a result of track work in north San Diego County to ensure safety and reliability of service.
During the affected weekends, bus service will be used to transport riders between the Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo and Oceanside stations for only OC Line trains 660, 661, 666, 667 and IEOC Line trains 857 and 860.
Riders can expect delays of up to 60 minutes due to connecting bus service.
Bus service will not be available on the affected weekends for OC Line trains 662, 663, 664 and 665 and IEOC Line trains 858 and 859.
Passengers are encouraged to get the latest information on service delays by visiting www.metrolinktrains.com or following @Metrolink on Twitter. The work windows and affected service could change due to weather.
