In preparation for San Diego Comic-Con and the Del Mar Racetrack's opening day, the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner is expanding its capacity by adding weekend trains from July 20 to September 2, 2024. This includes four extra trains on Saturdays and Sundays, two heading northbound and two southbound. The additional services will accommodate the increased passenger demand for these high-profile events, providing a convenient and enjoyable travel experience for attendees.
The upcoming San Diego Comic-Con and Del Mar Racetrack's opening day are expected to draw massive crowds, leading to increased passenger demand on the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner. To accommodate this surge, Amtrak is expanding its capacity by adding weekend trains from July 20 to September 2, 2024 [1].
With four extra trains on Saturdays and Sundays, Amtrak Pacific Surfliner aims to provide a convenient and enjoyable travel experience for attendees. The additional services include two northbound and two southbound trains, ensuring that passengers can travel to and from the events with ease.
San Diego Comic-Con, known for its 460,000 square foot exhibit hall and over 700 events, attracts over 160,000 people annually [1]. This four-day convention is one of the busiest weeks on the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner, as fans, industry professionals, and cosplayers fill the trains to and from the event.
Amtrak Pacific Surfliner travels between San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo, offering passengers a scenic and convenient alternative to driving or flying. With extra seating added to select trains and an additional roundtrip between Los Angeles and San Diego, Amtrak aims to increase capacity without overcrowding peak trains [1].
Last year, the Pacific Surfliner carried over 44,000 passengers during Comic-Con, a 40% increase on average daily ridership [1]. Similar passenger counts are anticipated this year, making it crucial for travelers to plan ahead and book their tickets early.
