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.

Use SunRail to entertain out-of-town Thanksgiving guests

Here’s an idea: How about using SunRail as an inexpensive way to entertain out-of-town guests who are visiting you for the Thanksgiving holiday? You already know that SunRail isn’t running on Thanksgiving Day. But it is running on the Black Friday – the day after Thanksgiving. Put your guests on SunRail -- or be their SunRail guide. Riding SunRail and checking out points of interest along the way will easily eat up much of the day. It will be fun, too! It’s our bet is that Sand Lake Road will be one of the busiest SunRail stations because it’s a little more than a mile from fabulous Florida Mall – considered one of the most robust shopping malls in the nation. Riders can get a free transfer from SunRail to a Lynx bus that will take them to the mall. At Sand Lake Road, riders can also transfer to the Lynx bus that will take them to Orlando International Airport – about a 10-minute ride. (This could spare you from having to drive a departing guest all the way to OI...

Get Saturday SunRail NOW!

OK we have a plan to get some Saturday SunRail service, but we need YOUR help. Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings proposed increasing the county sales tax by a penny to help pay for transportation improvements – including expanding SunRail service. We strongly support his goal, but we know persuading voters to increase a tax will not be easy. It never is. Even though SunRail drastically improved its ridership during the past year – some trains are standing-room-only, there remain, residents, who view SunRail as a boondoggle because it doesn’t run on the weekends or late at night. SunRail was created as a commuter service – Monday to Friday mostly bankers’ hours – and it was funded as such by the Florida Department of Transportation, which is footing much of the bill. Regular readers of this blog know that there is no transit system that is supported mostly by the farebox. Tax dollars are required to keep public transit running, the same way those dollars pay for fi...
