Amtrak Train Station Burbank Downtown, California (BBK) stands at 201 North Front Street in central Burbank. Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner provides limited service here — four trains a day, two in each direction, available to Metrolink passengers through a codeshare arrangement — while the Coast Starlight passes without stopping. Metrolink’s Antelope Valley Line and Ventura County Line also call. Amtrak counted 10,852 passengers in fiscal year 2025, a fraction of the total at the airport station three miles away, because so few Amtrak trains stop.

Burbank Downtown Amtrak Station Layout Map
Southern Pacific built its line to Burbank by mid-1873 and rebuilt the station in 1927; that building was destroyed by fire in 1991. The present station opened on 26 October 1992 together with the start of Metrolink service, which is why its layout follows commuter-rail practice rather than that of a long-distance depot. Parking totals 458 spaces, including 12 accessible spaces. The map below marks the North Front Street site.

Baggage & Luggage Rules
No baggage counter operates at Burbank Downtown, so passengers handle their own luggage. Amtrak’s systemwide carry-on allowance applies: two bags of up to 50 pounds and 28 by 22 by 14 inches each, plus one personal item of up to 25 pounds, with a $20 fee for each excess bag up to two. On Pacific Surfliner trains the depth limit is 11 inches rather than 14, which matters because the Surfliner is the only Amtrak service calling here.
Food, Lounges & Restrooms
Amtrak operates no catering at Burbank Downtown. Food and drink must be bought in the surrounding downtown Burbank streets or aboard the train, since the station is a commuter platform rather than a depot with tenants. There is no Amtrak lounge. The Pacific Surfliner carries a café car on its services.
How to Reach the Burbank Downtown Amtrak Station
Burbank Downtown is the better of the city’s two stations for park-and-ride use, with 458 parking spaces including 12 accessible bays and a secured bicycle area. Six bus operators serve it: Burbank Bus Pink, City of Santa Clarita Transit route 794, Glendale Beeline route 12, LA Metro bus routes 92, 96, 154, 155, 164, 165 and 294, and Metro Micro North Hollywood/Burbank. Road access runs off North Front Street in the city centre.
Nearby Airports
Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) is the nearest commercial airport, about three miles north-west. Burbank Airport–South station stands on the airport’s own grounds, therefore passengers travelling to a flight generally use that station rather than this one, and a train or bus connection covers the short distance between them.
Hotels Near Burbank Downtown Amtrak Station
Amtrak publishes no hotel list for Burbank Downtown and no hotel forms part of the station. Hotels operate across downtown Burbank and near the airport, but names, rates and availability change, so current listings should be consulted rather than a station page.
Burbank Downtown is accordingly a Metrolink station with a light Amtrak overlay: two Pacific Surfliner trains each way daily, no ticket counter and no baggage service, but 458 parking spaces, a secured bicycle area and six bus operators. The 1992 building replaced a 1927 Southern Pacific station lost to fire in 1991, and its 10,852 annual Amtrak passengers reflect how few Amtrak trains call.
