On Tuesday, Caltrans and Amtrak California launched a new northbound Pacific Surfliner express service between San Diego and Los Angeles that cuts the trip’s travel time by 15 to 20 minutes.

“In an effort to be more responsive to passengers traveling between San Diego and Los Angeles, the new weekday express service will provide a faster trip for business travelers riding the Pacific Surfliner,” said Martin Tuttle, Caltrans deputy director for planning and modal programs, in a prepared statement.

The Pacific Surfliner train that leaves San Diego at 7:05 a.m. will make fewer stops on the way to L.A. Two other Surfliner trains that leave later in the morning will continue to stop at all stations.
