Oceanside Transit Center is a major railway interchange in Oceanside, California, serving both intercity and suburban/commuter services. The station is used by Amtrak on the route of its Pacific Surfliner service between San Diego and San Luis Obispo. It is also a terminus for two different regional transit operators – Metrolink, the commuter rail operator for the Los Angeles area, has two of its services, the Orange County Line and Inland Empire–Orange County Line, that terminate at Oceanside (the only Metrolink station in San Diego County), while the North County Transit District (NCTD), the operator for most of the public transport in the North County, has its COASTER and SPRINTER services also terminating at Oceanside.[1] Oceanside Transit Center is also served by Greyhound Lines and numerous NCTD BREEZE buses.
History
Oceanside Transit Center was built in 1984, and serves as a replacement for a 1946-built Santa Fe Depot, which was torn down in 1988. The former station was itself a replacement for an 1886-built Santa Fe Depot. This station became one of the original 9 stations on Metrolink's Orange County Line when that line opened on March 28, 1994, and North County Transit District's COASTER commuter rail began serving this station when the line opened on February 27, 1995[2] and Metrolink's Inland Empire–Orange County Line began serving this station regularly in the early 2000s after serving the station on a temporary basis from that line's opening on October 2, 1995, until the early 2000s and North County Transit District's SPRINTER hybrid rail service began serving this station when it opened on March 9, 2008.[3]
Expansion
To enhance the regional transit service, this station underwent a major expansion including building a third track and platform in the middle of the existing tracks, extending all platforms, and adding a passenger walkway. Construction on the project began in 2016,[4] the third platform opened in May 2017,[5][6] and Platform 1 reopened November 20.[7]
