Service

Hours and frequency

Arrow trains run every day between approximately between 5:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. Trains arrive every 30 minutes early morning and evening and every 60 minutes mid-morning to mid-afternoon. On weekends trains between 7:30 a.m. and 10 p.m. arriving every 60 minutes, except for a few hours without trains in the morning and afternoon.[6]

Redlands–Downtown is also served by one round-trip Metrolink weekday express train on the San Bernardino Line, with a western terminus of Los Angeles' Union Station.[6]

Platforms

Although they share a single track through the station, because Metrolink's cars have a different loading height than the Arrow vehicles, they board from different platforms. Metrolink trains board from a platform on the north side of the track, close to the parking garage. Arrow trains board from a platform on the south side of the track near the historic Santa Fe Depot.[6]

Parking

A four-level, 384-space parking structure was built north of the depot and opened in the summer of 2022 to replace the Redlands Mall parking lot that will be demolished in 2023.[7]

Santa Fe Depot

The station is adjacent to the Redlands Santa Fe Railroad Depot, which opened to passenger service in 1910 and is the centerpiece of the historic Redlands Santa Fe Depot District. The building's owner refurbished the structure in anticipation of service.[8] The Arrow service will not directly utilize the old building, but new platforms and facilities were installed track side. The station is a indirect successor to the Red Car trolleys that ran throughout southern California since the late 19th century.
