Beautiful, spotless, comfortable, bright n sunny commuter train, with polite, attentive staff! I wanted to get a look at its route to EAST San Diego County, and I did!
I traveled on a Wednesday, before school resumed, so there were very few passengers. Gave me a chance for really good interior photos!
The price is excellent, the ride is comfortable, the train is ALWAYS on time. But it lacks a few things, compared to it's sister train, the Coaster... no bathrooms, can't eat/drink on board, no tables, no trash bins, only 1 level of seats, and not much to view out the windows. So only 4 stars.
It's designed for mostly working people and college students, and serves their needs completely. Has a designated Wi-Fi area. It stops at Mira Costa and Palomar Colleges.
The scenery is, therefore, lacking. It runs BEHIND lots of businesses and apartments. Graffiti and trash are abundant in some areas, sadly. Oceanside to Escondido, and back, it's an excellent ride to work/school. It offers NOTHING for tourists! read more
