CITY PROFILE

 

The Sorrento Valley Station is located at 11170 Sorrento Valley Road.

 

The Coaster on weekdays and Saturdays serves this station, with additional late night train service on baseball nights and during special events or concerts, as well as New Year’s Eve.  Modified schedules are operated on Thanksgiving Friday consisting of eight trains each direction.  When selected major holidays fall on a Sunday, the Coaster does not run on Sundays or Holidays, however, when the extra supplemental holiday law is in force, the supplemental holiday sees train operation on a reduced schedule of six trains (eight if the holiday is a Saturday, and the supplemental holiday comes first.)

All Shuttles operate a longer schedule on Fridays due to heavier traffic, and the schedule operates up to ten minutes earlier.  Service hours for each route will reflect this. This operating policy affects Afternoon trips only; morning service operates without change due to the early hours of the day when the buses are operating.

 

Pay phones are located at various locations.


This station does not currently have soft drink or juice machines.

 

The access crossing at the south end of the station platform is closed due to construction currently in progress on the freeway bridges above.

 

University of California at San Diego has shuttle buses that meet all trains, where the Coaster connections meet only selected trains.  Trains with times on the schedule that are shown with a star (*) on the timetable have no shuttle service.
