ORLANDO, Fla. – SunRail announced on Friday that weekday services would be extended starting in December, including two new trains running through the evenings.
Starting Dec. 1, a new southbound evening train will extend service into the night and a new northbound mid-evening train will give more opportunities later into the evening.
“The new late-night trains provide more options for those staying later at work or enjoying Central Florida’s dining, entertainment, and community events, making it easier to ride, relax, and return home safely,” SunRail said.
New service times and the updated schedules are available online.

SunRail is looking at expanding service to weekends, but exactly how much would it cost to make that happen?
The estimated total cost of operations to run trains on Saturdays and Sundays would be $26,265,000 each year. On top of that, staff said the weekend service would require an entirely new crew and extra equipment.
SunRail would need three more locomotives and cab cars, a $61,800,000 investment, to run on weekends. There are cheaper options if they choose to lease equipment, but that would lead to recurring costs each year.
