Holiday Fun Starts with a Train Ride

During the holiday season, Orange County is packed with festive events and distinctive shopping venues easily reached by Metrolink. Traveling by train is part of the fun and has other benefits, such as taking cars off the road and reducing traffic and harmful emissions.

To encourage Metrolink travel, OCTA curates a collection of delightful weekend day trips near convenient Metrolink stations, showcases special events and promotes sweepstakes.

This OCTA Metrolink site is packed with information, inspiration and an overview of the many ways to save on train trips. Easy-to-follow trip itineraries are presented for families, beachgoers, cyclists, foodies and more. Upcoming events include ice skating, a winter village, tree lighting, breakfast with Santa, and other family-friendly activities.

In addition, through Dec. 22 OCTA is conducting a sweepstakes for the chance to win four free Metrolink tickets and a $100 gift card. No purchase is necessary.
