AV Line Track Closure

Starting Date: 11/6/2021
Ending Date: 11/7/2021

On Saturday, November 6 and Sunday, November 7, Metrolink will complete a maintenance and rehabilitation project along the Antelope Valley Line. Subsequently, this project will result in a track closure between Newhall and Lancaster.    

 

Antelope Valley Line train service will only operate between Los Angeles and Newhall on those two days. Metrolink will provide alternate bus service for passengers between Newhall and Lancaster.  

 

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 can 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 service 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. 
  • Where do I catch the bus?    
  • Metrolink Newhall Station: 24300 Railroad Ave., Santa Clarita, CA 91321 
  • Metrolink Santa Clarita Station: 22122 Soledad Canyon Road, Santa Clarita, CA 91350  
  • Metrolink Via Princessa: 19201 Via Princessa, Santa Clarita, CA 91351 
  • Metrolink Vincent Grade/Acton Station:   The buses will pull into the parking lot located at: 730 W. Sierra Hwy., Acton CA 93550 
  • Metrolink Palmdale Station: 39000 Clock Tower Plaza Drive., Palmdale, CA 93550 
  • Metrolink Lancaster Station: 44812 N. Sierra Highway, Lancaster, CA 93534 
  • Will there be personnel at the stations to assist us?  Metrolink will make every effort to have staff at stations with bus bridge service.
