Brightline (All Aboard Florida) Orlando - Miami FL FEC fka Virgin Rail

Could be completely irrelevant, but max speed of Rail Jet equipment is 220kmh or 136mph

@west point How are they going to do testing at 137 MPH if the engines top speed is 125?

From Hilton Downtown Miami--

I'll be aboard to West Palm 248P today


I'll share a trip report with the Fourum

From Hilton Miami Downtown

This evening, The Cleveland Orchestra is performing in Orlando. The will fly MIA-MCO and return in a chartered aircraft.

Wonder if Brightline could bid on this business in future years.

Now aboard Brightline (Bright Green; train # a State Secret) that departed Miami 248P--

So much for Aventura being open; it ain't.

Mouth of the Rat, it ain't.

From Ruth's Chris.West Palm--

Mr. Randal W. I stand corrected. My train didn't stop and neither station looked complete to me.

All told. I think there were 150 passenon mine. mine.

From Hilton Miami Downtown--

Back from the joyride.

Sure it was "pricey" @ $143.20 (Select; now renamed Premium) for 140 miles of transportation, but if you can get NECorridor prices, go for it.

I think the onboard service is superb with the staff "Flight Attendant courteous" ( they assume their customers fly regularly - likely a safe assumption). I think their base has.movrd beyond the Disneyland Joyride with non joyride reasons to go between the two cities (a 30yo girl I talked with has a boyfriend living in the Brickell area of Miami; she is an event coordinator at a hotel in W Palm).

So point; people in A have reason to travel to B.

On my return, there were a good 200 aboard. The Select/Premium car was 75% full on a Bright Blue set leaving WPB 548P.
