DeLand SunRail station gets an opening date, holds preview event

...
SunRail’s DeLand station at 2491 Old New York Avenue is set to open on Aug. 12, according to the rail service. Visitors to the station on Saturday even got a free tour.
...
The DeLand station will serve as SunRail’s northernmost stop, connecting Persimmon Hollow to DeBary, Poinciana, and more than a dozen stations in between along 61 miles of tracks.
...
Cloudman said work is also underway to better connect people with downtown DeLand and the train station, too. SunRail suggested passengers from the south take advantage of Volusia County’s VoRide service, offering rideshare transport for a flat rate of $2. Bicycle travel was also encouraged, as bicycles are welcome on SunRail trains.
...
The station off Old New York Avenue is about 3 miles from the heart of downtown DeLand. The city is now working with the county and state to put in a mixed-use trail so people can easily walk or ride a bike between the station and downtown.
...

Are the tracks really ready from DeBarry to Deland. Both the Stars and Meteors are sometimes taking a 4 -6 minute delay between Winter Park and Deland..

Well, it's August 13th now. Any news on this?

Service began yesterday as planned: https://sunrail.com/maps-schedules/map/

A circulator route runs middays and PM rush hours to connect it to Downtown DeLand, and Votran's microtransit service will bring you within 8 miles of the station for free.
