Our Copa America Centenario soccer
There was an item on the SunRail Commission meeting agenda
regarding that soccer tournament at Camping World (Citrus Bowl) Stadium. In a
Tuesday blog post we hoped that agenda item meant SunRail was going to run trains
for the first match on Saturday, June 4.
No such luck – still no weekend service. Despite that
disappointment there was some good news at Wednesday’s SunRail Commission
meeting.
Officials announced that Bombardier – the folks who
actually operate SunRail – will provide late-night service for fans attending the
Copa America Centenario matches on Monday, June
6, and Wednesday, June 8.
By the way, the special late trains on
those date aren’t free like some past SunRail special train operations.
Everybody riding the late train on those nights needs to buy a ticket. And don’t
forget to tap on and tap off before you board and when you get off.
Still, this is great news because usually
the last northbound SunRail station would be leaving the Church Street station at
9:25 p.m. -- well before soccer fans would be able to get from the stadium back
to the station after the matches.
See you on the Rail!
