Planned Advisory for the Antelope Valley Line

Friday, July 9, 2021

Throughout multiple weekends in July and August, Metrolink will complete a maintenance and rehabilitation project along the Antelope Valley Line.  This project will result in a track closure between Newhall and Lancaster. 

On the weekends of July 17 and 18, July 24 and 25, August 7 and 8, August 21 and August 22 and August 28 and 29, Antelope Valley Line service will only operate between Los Angeles and Newhall. Metrolink will provide alternate bus service for passengers between Newhall and Lancaster.

For more information, please call or text 800-371-5465(LINK)

Facial coverings continue to be required at stations, aboard trains, and on buses used for alternate transportation.

Bus Bridge FAQs

• Will the buses be able to carry bikes? Not all of them. We work with the bus charter companies to have space for both luggage and bicycles, but the compartments are not necessarily designed to secure bicycles. When we are able to secure buses that routinely provide public transportation, traditional bicycle racks are located outside of the buses.
• Are the buses ADA accessible? Yes. At least one bus will be ADA accessible within each group of scheduled buses providing alternate transportation.
• Why will trains be delayed by up to 1 hour late? Buses will take the fastest, safest route available, however due to traffic we can experience delays from 30-90 minutes. Buses cannot travel the distance from Lancaster to Vincent Grade/Acton as fast as a train.
• Do I need to buy an extra ticket to ride the bus? No. Your Metrolink ticket is all you need.
