This Metrolink station has loads of free parking, charging stations for EVs, handicap spots for persons with disabilities, public phones for use... An office never seems to be open... Almost like a prop lol as well as plenty of Kiosk to purchase Metrolink rider tickets and maps to guide you on your journeys... The mobile app is definitely your friend as well. It's never too busy here, which is nice, even being on the directly next to the Orange line station hub, the lot traffic, if any is always smooth and steady off Devonshire Street/ Canoga Avenue, just across for an amazing Anytime Fitness, Ralphs, Dollar Tree, Paint with A Twist (paint & sip spot) and a few other familiar as well as local small businesses in one lot... plus a Holiday Inn Express just past the intersection. "Come on, ride the train, hey, ride it... Choo choo!!"

Instead of doing such a simple and important task they continue with their unbelievably long and puzzling construction building/digging up nothing on top of nothing.

I'm sorry if I forgot your name) popped on out, probably saw that I was lost!

I bought my tickets online so no interaction purchasing here.

Saw there was a LADOT DASH bus waiting at the train station, which runs every 15 minutes around Reseda. No WiFi access is available on any Metrolink trains while the Amtrak has it for Business Class seats. Beginning July 1, 2025, you can buy a day pass ticket for unlimited travel across all Metrolink lines at $15 weekdays, $10 weekends! Note: Be careful, please check the Metrolink schedule to see whether the trip is worth your time for waiting at the Union Station for nearly two hours on the way back to the Northridge Station. For example , when I arrived at the Union Station at 2:45 PM, I found the next available train to the Northridge is at 4:30 PM. That's a challenge from LA Metro and Metrolink to attract more riders to take a public transit, instead of driving.

If you've ever been to other train stations you'll be properly confused here because there's only…read moreONE track! I genuinely had no idea I was in the right spot even though they had a sign up that indicated train arrivals/departures. There seems to be ample parking in the area and you can either book your ticket via the Metrolink app or on the self serve kiosk at the station. I believe there are shuttles that take you to/from this station as well since I noticed a ton of students and presumably faculty getting off the shuttle. The train itself is pleasantly clean and air conditioned, which was a nice change from the weather outside. The bathrooms were also very spacious and clean. I was on a double decker plane so I naturally gravitated to the second level. It was pretty empty despite it being a weekday afternoon around 4-5 pm and it was quiet and peaceful. I was able to get from Northridge to Union Station in considerably less time than if I drove there. Overall, please take public transit whenever possible! This even takes you to Burbank airport! It's a fun and quick ride and so much better than sitting in traffic. (35/100--2024)

This was my first time visiting the Simi Valley train station located on 5050 Los Angeles Avenue in…read moreEast Simi Valley. The train station offers ample parking, free for all passengers. Plus you can leave your car overnight. This train station is service by both Amtrack and the Metrolink. The station is quite simple but super clean. The station does not offer a building for shelter or a bathroom. The station does provide for some limited covering areas and seats. There is a metrolink kiosk but not an amtrak kiosk available at the platform. Amtrak tickets can be purchased online through their website or on their app. Metrolink tickets can also be purchased online. Enjoy your ride!

The train is such a convenient resource that is greatly underused!

Dropped my nephew off at the Amtrak / Metrolink station in Simi Valley a couple weeks ago. It is…read moreliterally a stop for Amtrak - you need to buy your ticket online ahead of time, as there is no ticket machine there for them. For Metrolink, yes, but Amtrak, no. Fortunately, I was able to order / pay for his ticket right from my phone while we waited for the train to come. It was running a few minutes late. Was able to get that determined from their website, too. Gave us a few extra minutes to say our goodbyes and reflect on his journey ahead. From this station you can head south to San Diego, or up the coast to the north on the Coast Starlight route, all the way to Seattle. For my nephew's trip, it was a convenient way for him to get to Santa Barbara. Once the train arrived, I gave him one more hug and watched him board one of the double-decker passenger cars. The implied romanticism of a rail trip briefly took over, as I wished that I was hopping on, too. Lots of free parking at the Simi station. There might be some restrictions on where / how long one can park, but since I was only there for a short time, didn't have to think more about that. Just be prepared ahead in purchasing your tickets, and away you go!

Oh how I love riding the train along the coast of California! I have ridden the Amtrak a number of…read moretimes over the years. The pros: you can relax and enjoy the view instead of having to drive and be stressed in traffic you can read books while on the train, look out the window, nap, or whatever you like! You can go to the café and order food and drinks! The bloody Mary is delicious! The cons: the train runs late a lot of the time. My worst delay was having to wait an hour and 10 minutes. They don't give you any comps or discounts either. So you kind of just have to sit there until your train arrives. Oh, and that over one hour delay was at a station with absolutely no working electrical plugs so my phone died on me and I sat w no way to let my family know I was okay. I noticed the train isn't as clean lately. I think they can do a better job of wiping down and cleaning. It smells a little musty inside. Some train cars smell like straight up farts inside. Overall, I really do enjoy riding the train, and as long as it isn't too delayed it really is a good time and worth it.

This train station is new and has curb appeal! There's plenty of parking in the lot behind the…read moretrain tracks, some prior to crossing (the tracks) near the bathrooms/ticket machines, and across the street. That's a total of 3 lots. There are passenger drop off, as well as motorcycle, spots in the lot closest to the bathrooms/ticket machines. *Beware not to park in the passenger drop-off spaces by accident or the guard might write all over your back window and call a tow company to haul your car away.* I regularly commute to work in Downtown LA from either this location or the Santa Clarita Station so I can attest to Metrolink services. For the most part, the southbound trains are on time give or take a few minutes unless there is freak weather (fires, extreme cold, or monsoonal rain). Sometimes the northbound trains are late due to train congestion at Union Station. So, I can't complain much especially since I get to do other things (like reading, watching tv shows, or catching up on my social media feed) rather than driving the whole way there. The parking lot is excessively long on the other side of the tracks so it can be easy to have to park way out in the boonies when arriving anytime past 7:10 AM. So, make sure you arrived in enough time to not have to make a mad dash for the train and cross the tracks as it's pulling into the station. I do wish, however, that charging spaces for electric vehicles were included when they were building this station. I expect the Santa Clarita Station to not have them because it's fairly old but there was no excuse to disregard it with this one. I mean, the Sylmar Station has two electric vehicle charging spots for crying out loud! Anyway, this isn't a horrible station and the Antelope Valley Metrolink line is much needed for us commuters. Make sure you arrive with plenty of time to park and purchase your train ticket or use the Metrolink application on your smartphone instead for those looking to save some time. And if you didn't know, there's a $10-weekend pass that allows you to ride any of the Metrolink trains, in any direction, all day long which is great for attending events in Downtown LA or even heading to the OC. Metrolink is alright with me!

I have taken the Metrolink train from Santa Clarita to Rancho Cucamonga last weekend. I was…read morepleasantly surprised with how smooth the experience was. Planning my trip was easy, all I had to do was check Google Maps or the Metrolink website. When I found the train schedule and arrived at the station with a Lyft ride, I tried to buy my tickets through the app, but I couldn't pay for them using several different cards. I had to go to the website to buy the tickets and then access them through the app. My one-way trip cost $15.50, and I had to make one transfer at Union Station. My only complaint is that I think it would be beneficial if Metrolink employees were more noticeable. When I reached Union Station, I asked security for directions, and they pointed me towards a woman with a lanyard wearing all black. She spoke softly, so I had to double-check my directions with her. Even after that I was slightly still confused but ended up finding my way.
