They really need to add trains between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Both cities have an Amtrak station, but somehow, not an available option. It would be massive money for them.
well they’re attempting that with Brightline West, but I haven’t heard anything positive from them in a while. I agree though, the tracks are there, even if it’s not super duper fast I know that corridor, I can’t imagine every person driving that is super thrilled to be driving. I’m sure a good chunk of them would be willing to add an hour or two on to not have to drive, and let’s be real you don’t need a car in vegas.

Fingers crossed. With this administration and how they like to yank back funds, never know.
Does Las Vegas still have an Amtrak station that can be served by trains? When I search for it I just get a bus stop,
Seems to be. This is what I see when I check maps
Edit: tho, yeah, just seems to be buses. Which is weird. I know Amtrak also has bus service, too. IDK, it’s all so backwards.

You’d think so. Everyone is just waiting and hoping that Brightline will build private HSR to fix these kinds of city pairs.
