Metrolink Adds Trains for Angels Home Games

All Laguna Niguel residents: all aboard the Rally Monkey Express.

Starting April 8, Metrolink will offer special train service to and from weeknight Angels baseball games. Fans who want to avoid stadium traffic and parking fees can pay $7 for the round-trip journey.

From the south, trains will depart the Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo station at 5:50 p.m., arriving at Angel Stadium about half an hour before 7:05 p.m. games. Return trips begin 30 minutes after the final out. From the north, service starts at Union Station in Los Angeles.

Funding comes from Metrolink's budget and an anticipated grant from the South Coast Air Quality Management District's auto pollution reduction program.
