Rose Parade prompts return of early morning Metrolink service

Early morning Metrolink train service on Monday, Jan. 2, will be available during the Rose Parade for the first time since 2020.

Agency leaders intend to make early-morning service available on five Metrolink lines starting Monday for the 104th Rose Parade, so spectators can go leave home knowing they have a reliable connection to the Gold Line, which provides direct service from L.A. Union Station to the parade route.
