SunRail is adding a late-night train

You asked for SunRail to run later at night. You’re getting your wish.

More than 3,400 people signed our petition asking for SunRail to run later at night and on the weekends.

Clearly the bosses at SunRail heard your request.This afternoon SunRail announced that starting a week from today (Dec. 22) SunRail will add a late-night train to the Monday to Friday schedule.

That train will leave DeBary at 9:05 p.m., arriving at the Sand Lake Road station at 10:08 p.m. Then the train will begin its northbound trip – last run for the night -- from Sand Lake Road at 10:20 p.m. That train is scheduled to arrive in DeBary at 11:23 p.m.

This will make it much easier to use SunRail to attend and leave events in downtown Orlando at the Amway Center and the new Dr. Phillips Performing Center for the Performing Arts, as well as enjoy dinner and other activities in all the cities along the SunRail corridor.

The SunRail bosses deserve our thanks. They’re giving us a chance to show how much we want SunRail service expanded, so for heaven’s sake. Let’s ride. Making this late-night train a success will help pave the way for more service enhancements.

See you on The Rail!
