Topline:
Attention all Metrolink riders — all Metrolink trains including Arrow will be out of service for four days starting Tuesday, Dec. 26.
About the closures: All Metrolink Trains and the Arrow line in the Inland Empire will be closed from Dec. 26 through Friday, Dec. 29. Train service will resume on Saturday, Dec. 30. Metrolink is advising riders to seek local transit systems for options but as the closure dates get nearer, Metrolink will provide updates to local transit customers.
All L.A Metro buses, subway and rail operations will be in service during that time.

Why now: The transit system is closing down the rail network to clean, repair and upgrade to a new signal system. Metrolink is also making upgrades to prepare for the upcoming 2028 Summer Olympics, Paralympics and 2026 World Cup.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
