Question

Hi

I have a friend who live in San Francisco.

Ridgewood Drive, Castro Valley, CA 94552

And he wants to go to L.A. downtown by train.

How can he go to L.A. downtown by train ?

And which station he has to take off when he arrives at L.A. Downtown?

Answer 1

well from the Bay area (this means either Oakland basically

you have a choice of a direct train called the Starlight

to Los Angeles,  (this train operates via the coast

and there is only one station downtown Los Angeles

thats union station

now the problem with this train it tends to run late so late

its nickname the starlight (sometimes runs 4 to 12 hours late!)

another option is take the San Joaquin trains to Bakersfield

then the bus to Los Angeles

both will end up downtown Los Angeles

(

(usually more on time routing this train operates via

the central valley)

Answer 2

Yes.  Union Station.

Call 1-800-USA-RAIL.  There you will actually talk to a live person if you're willing to invest five minutes.

Answer 3

all depends where your coming from
