Burbank Airport–South station, referred to as Hollywood Burbank Airport station by Amtrak and formerly known as Bob Hope Airport station, is an unstaffed Amtrak and Metrolink train station on the southeast corner of Hollywood Burbank Airport in the city of Burbank, California. Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner from San Luis Obispo to San Diego, Amtrak's Coast Starlight from Los Angeles to Seattle, Washington, and Metrolink's Ventura County Line from Los Angeles Union Station to East Ventura stop here.

Burbank Airport–South station is served by ten Amtrak Pacific Surfliner trains (five in each direction) every day and two Coast Starlight trains (one in each direction), with departures evenly spaced throughout the day.[4][5] Twenty Metrolink Ventura County Line trains (ten in each direction) serve the station each weekday, running during peak hours in the peak direction of travel. On weekends, four Metrolink Ventura County Line trains (two in each direction) serve the station. Metrolink passengers also have access to all Pacific Surfliner trains through a codesharing arrangement with Amtrak.[6]

Twice daily Amtrak Thruway 1C bus service connects the station with Newhall and Bakersfield to the north, Van Nuys to the west, and Westwood/UCLA and Santa Monica to the south.[7]

The station is located across Empire Avenue from the airport's Regional Intermodal Transportation Center (RITC). Most city bus lines stop at the bottom level of the RITC. Passengers travelling to the airport can take an elevator or escalator to a pedestrian bridge that connects the RITC to the terminal with moving walkways. The airport also offers shuttle service for those unable or unwilling to use the pedestrian bridge and moving walkways.[8]

Of the 76 California stations served by Amtrak, Burbank was the 28th-busiest in FY2017, with 73,814 total passengers.[9]

History

[edit]

The station was opened in February 1983 as an infill station on the short-lived CalTrain line. It would see less than one month of use by this service.[10] Amtrak began limited service there on June 1, 1990.[11] Metrolink trains began using the station on April 24, 1995, after the completion of a project to lengthen the platform.[12]

The station is part of a new intermodal transportation center which the Burbank City Council approved in late August 2010. The facility cost around $93 million. Groundbreaking occurred during the summer of 2012 and construction was completed summer 2014. It serves rail, air and bus travelers, as well as incorporating rental car facilities.[13]
