    The pull out tray in front of you
    Mabel R.

    First time taking the Surfliner train to the Burbank airport and I didn't know what to expect since I hadn't read the reviews. However, my husband has taken this train to the Burbank airport and he says he enjoys taking the train. I've taken the Surfliner up the coast in the past and remember it being enjoyable as well. Please note: this train leaves right on time! You really need to be there at least 10 minutes before the scheduled departure or you'll miss your ride. If you need help with luggage you also need to get there early. I purchased a Business Class seat which is upstairs and I had to pull heavy luggage by myself up the narrow stairway. Was not offered any help. This was fine for me but could be a turn off for others. Each stop along the way is pretty quick as well. They check your ticket after you've left and your in your seat. Not sure how they handle stowaways! There's plenty of seats and each seat is very roomy. The seats recline quite a bit considering they hardly recline on most airplanes; however, I'm not sure I could get a good night's sleep here on an overnight ride. The views are breathtaking and relaxing, especially for those of us who suffer from anxiety. There are no seat belts and the ride is pretty smooth. I loved seeing all the cars stopped in the road in order to let us pass, like we were special. Internet reception was very good and I could see myself being able to get a lot of work done. There is a foot rest and small table in front of you. There is one restroom on one end of the car and a complementary self serve beverage & snack station on the other. There is a Cafe on the lower level that is available for you to purchase items but with my short trip I didn't go check that out. The stop at Burbank is across the street from the actual airport. Before I arrive, an employee let me know my stop was coming up and even helped me with my luggage which was appreciated. When you exit the train, make a right and you'll get to the handicapped friendly down ramp to the crosswalk. Unfortunately, I wasn't told & learned the hard way. I made the mistake of going left and ended up having to wait for the train to leave so I could cross the tracks where there is a section to do so but is farther from the airport entrance. The walk is probably about 10 minutes max to the airport entrance if your hauling rolling luggage. Overall good experience and while I wouldn't recommend it for someone handicapped, I would do this again!

    $50 to go to Oxnard business class, only four hours from San Diego. Why would you consider fighting LA traffic when you could be working, reading or resting? Amtrak is worth subsidizing!

    This station is just the way I wish they all were. It's not too big and there's plenty of free temporary parking. There's an Amtrak ticket office here as well, which is not the case at many Amtrak stations. Finally, all the transportation systems serving Oxnard converge in this one spot, so you've got Metrolink, Greyhound, local buses and VCTC intercity buses that all leave from this one station as well. What could be more convenient.

    Great bargain to Los Angeles. But now, I see why. So far, the train is 30 minutes late...and counting

    I made plans to visit my (step)Mom, in Newport Beach, so I mapped out the journey & booked an on-line ticket with Amtrak for a 3 1/2 hour train trip from Oxnard station to Irvine station. Sounds odd for a car owner, doesn't it? The reason that I went via rail versus driving is as simple as this: &%#@ TRAFFIC! The prior weekend I had also visited and the trip took 3 hours there and 2 1/2 hours back - absolutely criminal & exhausting. I booked the standard seat ($23), then decided to upgrade to business class ($13) for a total ticket price of $36. This didn't sound bad at all considering that I'd get to relax, watch a DVD about Bengal tigers, finish a book on CD, then begin a draft on a Yelp review, while having a muffin, juice, & enjoying the view pass by my window. A very relaxing trip indeed. Positives: - Very comfortable seats - Clean - Very helpful staff - Lots of leg room - AC plug-ins (business class) - Clean restrooms - Food & beverages available - Great city views - Relaxing - It's a train trip, too! Negatives: - Needing transportation at the destination site. I could eliminate the above negative if I had planned better with NM so that she could have picked me up at the Irvine station. Instead I took a taxi to Newport Beach - $56! I will be using Amtrak for selected future transportation needs. I'd recommend that you check it out, too.

    The station in the morning

    Although many homeless hang around the bus stop, they never bother the people in the train station or near the tracks. The staff is super nice and the facility is well maintained for the diversity of people that arrive. You can buy train and bus tickets along with snacks at a gift shop. Do not think this station is just a stop with a bench. I recommend all to stop on by and give this place a try to see this great country!

    Busy station with loads of parking and other transit options (buses etc). And good to know elevation :)

    I'm here at least twice a month for work and it's always nice to hope on the Surfliner and head to work!

    More attention in business class. Our guy did nothing . Did not offer drinks or snacks and didn't open door for us to get off train in time.

    They shouldn't be able to say they have wifi, unless they could give it to all their pessengers.

    I drive from Camarillo to the Oxnard station so my son can take the train to his dad's as an unaccompanied minor.
