Sprinter opening date set

Added on Sunday, January 27th, 2008

The North San Diego County Transit District has set Sunday, March 9, as the inaugural day of service for the Sprinter light rail line.

Sprinter was originally scheduled to open January 13, but station construction was not complete and the California Public Utilities Commission had not given the district the green light.

It is a 22-mile rail line from Oceanside to Escondido, also serving the cities of Vista and San Marcos.

The North San Diego County Transit District has put off the opening of its light rail line, Sprinter, originally scheduled for this Sunday. No start-up date has been announced.

Some of the final touches, such as parking lot striping, are not complete. The California Public Utilities Commission still has not given the OK on the line’s safety measures.
