On the weekend of June 8-9, Caltrain will be suspending all train service between San Francisco and San Jose to accommodate the testing of the new electric fleet with an estimate of fully electrified service in September, according to the transit agency.
Limited capacity replacement bus service will stop at San Jose Diridon, Palo Alto and Millbrae stations. There will be no replacement bus or train service at other stations. Riders should seek alternative transportation if they are traveling outside of these stations. Riders traveling to or from San Francisco should transfer to BART at Millbrae station, according to Caltrain.
Buses will have limited capacity for luggage and bikes. Riders can use bike parking options, which are available at most stations. Buses will be ADA accessible, according to Caltrain.
Electrification will mean faster and more frequent service, including doubling the frequency on weekends. The new trains will have Wi-Fi, power outlets at every seat, onboard displays with digital trip information, increased storage capacities, according to Caltrain.
