When you gotta go...


Have you ever been waiting 30 minutes or more for the SunRail train, and suddenly you have an urge to use the bathroom?


You are not alone.

We’ve all been there.

One of the biggest complaints many riders express is that SunRail did not include restrooms in their stations (though there is a restroom on the train).

That said, we understand and support that SunRail decision because public restrooms are costly to maintain and become a breeding ground for illegal and undesirable activities.

But that explanation doesn’t help you answer the call of nature. So, we’ve prepared this cheat sheet to help you find relief at some stations.

Winter Park: Restroom inside the Amtrak station.
Lynx Central Station: Restroom inside the Lynx bus station
Orlando Health/Amtrak station: Restroom inside the Amtrak station
Sand Lake Road: (This is the mother lode) There are public restrooms inside the nearby McDonald’s, Burger King and Denny’s restaurants, and across the street at the Wawa convenience store.
Kissimmee station: There are restrooms a block from the station at the Hart Memorial Public Library (you can see the library from the northbound platform), down the platform at the Amtrak station, and a couple of blocks away at Lakefront Park.
Poinciana station: Restrooms across the street at the Wawa convenience store and at the Home Depot.

If you know of restrooms at any other SunRail stations, please share that information with us.

See you on The Rail, not at the restroom.

    People wander the train looking for the bathroom not knowing where it is. The bathroom is in the 2000 car on the bottom floor. There's never a bathroom in the 3000 car.

Black Lives Matter is coming to SunRail

This Friday afternoon (7/10) high school students will use SunRail for a Black Lives Matter march. They will begin at the Meadow Woods SunRail station in south Orange County -- less than a mile from Cypress Creek High School. After a rally and speeches at the train station, they plan to board a northbound SunRail train and ride to downtown Orlando. They will get off at Church Street station and march around the corner to Orlando City Hall for a rally with other activists. Then they will march to Orlando Police headquarters, which is about a mile from City Hall. Marchers will return to the SunRail station at Church Street for the ride back to Meadow Woods at 3:50 p.m. BLM protests have been held in Orlando for more than a month and they’ve been overwhelmingly peaceful. SunRail provides an excellent way for students from all over Central Florida – from Poinciana to DeBary -- to join the movement that is being organized by the Cypress Creek High School chap

Stop blowing smoke SunRail, fix these problems

SunRail needs to stop blowing smoke when it comes to improving the passenger experience for its most loyal riders. During the past 2 weeks we’ve attended meetings where we’ve heard frustrated riders complain about 2 major topics: 1.     Several morning and evening rush-hour trains are packed – many people are left standing. Unlike subway cars – SunRail trains are not equipped with hand holds for standing passengers. Riders want a 3 rd  passenger car added to those packed trains. 2.     Passengers continue to have problems with their reloadable SunRail SunCards that they use to pay their fares. Due to these problems, some passengers have been “hotlisted.” That means the fare system shows that their pre-paid fare accounts have been overdrawn. Some riders have been kicked off trains because of this problem. Yet SunRail has turned these issues around to somehow be the fault of riders. On the crowded train issue , the SunRail managers say they’ll monitor the situation
