The new schedule is below. Passengers who have already purchased a ticket should contact Amtrak if you need to change your itinerary.

Effective May 1, 2023, we will be resuming Saturday-Sunday service for the Eastern Route!

Through recent public outreach surveys, you told us that something you would like to see is fewer stops and faster travel times. We heard you! With this schedule change we will be adding two new buses that will operate as express runs between Portland and Eugene through the summer and possibly longer.

This change also adds back two daily runs that were suspended during the pandemic, bringing us almost back to pre-pandemic levels!
