It is served by Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner from San Luis Obispo to San Diego, Amtrak's bus route from Bakersfield to Los Angeles, Metrolink's Ventura County Line from Los Angeles Union Station to Montalvo, and Metrolink's Metrolink Antelope Valley Line.
Of the 73 California stations served by Amtrak, Glendale was the 37th-busiest in FY2010, boarding or detraining an average of approximately 100 passengers daily.
Schedule
10 Pacific Surfliner trains serve the station daily and 54 Metrolink trains serve the station each weekday and 12 Antelope Valley Line trains serve the station on Saturday and Sunday. There is no Metrolink service on the Ventura County Line on weekends.
Greyhound Bus
The station also serves as a stop for Greyhound Lines buses, but only when passengers are ticketed to or from here, because there is no longer an office. The future plan for this stop, concerning tickets, is to have passengers go and buy tickets elsewhere or online. There is no longer a Greyhound ticketing kiosk here.
History
Originally known as the Glendale Southern Pacific Railroad Depot, it was built by the Southern Pacific Railroad in the Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival architectural styles in 1923. It had replaced the Atwater Tract Office dating from 1883. The city bought the depot from Southern Pacific in 1989 and acquired adjacent properties to create an intermodal center. Restoration of the historic building and the construction of other elements of the intermodal center cost approximately $6 million.
National Registry
In May 1997, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has recently undergone an extensive renovation.
