AmtrakFrom today the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner will add railcars to each of its 10 daily trains serving Santa Barbara County .

 

It will provide more than 2,000 additional seats to help accommodate increased travel demand due to the continued closure of Highway 101 following devastating mudslides near Montecito that occurred last week.

 

 

The Pacific Surfliner has served as the only viable ground transportation option between Ventura and Santa Barbara counties after the reopening of tracks on Thursday as drive time on alternate routes between the two counties can take nearly four hours.

The Pacific Surfliner travels between Ventura and Santa Barbara in around 45 minutes.

 

 

Pacific Surfliner trains have been extremely busy, with demand exceeding available seating capacity due to limited transportation options.

 

 

There will be 270 extra seats per train as extra railcars that had already been added to select Pacific Surfliner trains for the past two days using available equipment are being supplemented by the arrival of eight additional railcars and three locomotives from northern California.
