    Sunrail
    Stacy V.

    Did you know kids under 6 ride the sunrail for free? My son loves riding the Sunrail so we usually begin at the Altamonte location and ride down to Winter Park. We go on Friday evenings because the train only runs on weekdays. Parking is plentiful and there and it's very easy to follow the instructions to purchase tickets. There is usually a staff member there to help you if you need any help. The only thing that I wish this station has is bathrooms but maybe that is wishful thinking for the future. The sunrail trains themselves do have bathrooms inside. Hope they expand the Sunrail someday as we would love to take it directly to the airport! (Probably also wishful thinking but I can dream!)

    I don't know that it's really fair to rate something only a few days running, but until they work out all the kinks, I suggest riding for leisure and not to get anywhere by a certain time. Trains were running 10-30 mins late today and some who rode yesterday said they were backed up as much as an hour. It was a super crowded ride in the morning, going northbound from Sandlake; we were packed in and most had to stand. The afternoon southbound train leaving Altamonte was a much less crowded ride, with only few standing in our car. The Sunrail is smaller than I anticipated but the cars are nice and have good air conditioning, especially with all those riding. I don't have much use for Sunrail with the dedtinations offered, but would ride again for leisure....in a few months.

    Ample parking, convenient location, clean and well marked. This was our first time riding Sunrail and it was very simple and easy. Purchase tickets at the kiosk and swipe them before, and after, you board. The only problem I see with this station is walking from this spot along busy 436. There isn't a ton of stuff within a short walk and things like the mall or hospital are fairly far so may require a bus ride. The train itself was only 2 minutes late and you can easily check its status from their website on your phone.

    Almost 3 years after launching, SunRail still hasn't quite "taken off". In the most recent rush…read morehour trip, the train was maybe one-quarter capacity full - not sure if you're allowed to stand, but in the carriage I occupied, you could be completely anti-social, with no one sitting next to you, no one across from you. It's still earthbound because old habits are hard to break, driving is too easy, the fare is too high (for what you're getting), there's a stigma to taking the bus (if your home/destination isn't near a station), frequency is non-existent (30 min. wait during rush hour, REALLY!), no service on weekends... there are myriad reasons. IMO, none is good, and none is insurmountable. Eager to walk the talk, I've resolved to use it as often as I possibly can, as much as I enjoy driving my car. I look at the positives: no stressful driving during rush hour is the primary one, putting steps on my Fitbit, fostering a habit to plan ahead and around ("I'm NOT the center of the universe!"). Yesterday, I learned to take my bike, which, too, is quite hassle-free. As a result, I biked a total of 10 miles, and put in 26,000 steps (even if Fitbit short-changed me by 6,000, since their stupid app doesn't give you 'step credit' for biking). I know this rating is about the Longwood station, but those thoughts have to go somewhere. This station is about 2 miles from home: a half hour walk or a 10 min. bike ride. In or near the peak of the summer season, it's a bit of a challenge - I'd drive to the station and hop on. This time of the year, it is very manageable. There are no bathrooms at this station, and the walking route to it coming from the north on 427 can be a bit challenging. Arrive early - in my experience, the train has never been late yet. It's been early by a minute or so a few times. We as citizens of the Orlando area need to decide - do we want to go forward, or backward? Unlike the auto transmission indicator in your car, in this decision "D" for "Drive" is the same as "R", for "Reverse".

    For a long time, I could not find this particular station. I knew where Altamonte was, and I knew…read morewhere Lake Mary's was, but while I knew there was one in Longwood, I had no idea where it was. Finally, I went to their website and actually got the address directly from there. Turns out that this location is nice, and possibly even one of the nicest of the stations I've seen so far. It's smaller, and parking is kind of behind and to the side, but it's well lit and conveniently located.

The trolley broke its own schedule and left…read moreus stranded.On Friday, August 28, 2026, I used this trolley service with my 15-year-old son. We had planned this trip with a lot of excitement just to please him, as he wanted to ride the SunRail train from Orlando to Downtown Sanford. Unfortunately, the experience turned into a nightmare due to the absolute irresponsibility of this transit service.I checked the official trolley information board, and the last trip of the night was scheduled for just after 9:00 p.m. Being cautious, we were waiting at the stop starting at 8:00 p.m. However, the trolley never showed up to pick us up and take us back to the station, breaking its own schedule and leaving us completely stranded. Because of this, we missed the last train back to Orlando.The situation was extremely critical and dangerous for two reasons:Wheelchair Accessibility: My son uses a power wheelchair. Since we had no accessible transportation, we had to wait sitting on a sidewalk bench until 12:00 midnight for a family member to drive all the way from Orlando to Sanford to pick us up and take us back to where we had parked our minivan. Since their car did not have enough room for the power wheelchair, I had to leave it stored at a local ice cream shop (I am infinitely grateful to that business for their big heart) and return to Sanford the next day just to retrieve it.Medical Equipment: Most seriously, my son relies on medical oxygen. The tank began to run low, and he barely had enough left because, due to this transit service, we did not make it back to our home in Orlando until almost 1:00 a.m.This is a complete lack of respect, a potential medical emergency caused by negligence, and a violation of accessibility laws. If you publish a schedule on your information board, you are obligated to follow it. The awful experience, the anxiety of watching the oxygen tank drop, and the complication of leaving the wheelchair behind completely ruined what should have been a special day for my son. Do not trust this service.

This station was revived by a community effort to preserve some of the history of Orlando and when you enter the doors of the station it's almost like turning back a page in time. There is plenty of wooden seating for everyone to spread out and socially distance. There are clean restrooms and staff on site to help with checking baggage and providing information about the trains and schedules. I believe that you get 2 checked bags and two carryons with your ticket which is much more than what you can bring on an airplane for the price you pay. If you get tired of sitting inside you can walk around outside around the historic building or watch the trains go by. It's easy to get a taxi or rideshare from here as well. As I walked around the building, I did like that the sign outside recognizes the history of segregation and how the station used to have separate segregated restrooms and waiting rooms. So yikes have changed but there still is a long way to go. I just like that it is publicly recognized on a sign near the entrance. This is a great train station. I felt safe and the waiting area was reasonably clean and cool while I waited for my silver bullet train. I believe the Hertz location that used to be onsite is permanently closed.
