      AMTRAK’s Metrolink–regional rail service–is offering early-morning train service on Jan. 1 to help riders reach the parade; all the info you need is here.

      By News Desk

      Metro A Line rail service begins at Union Station around 4:00 am on Monday, Jan. 1, and the parade starts at 8:00 am. More information can be found at this link.

      The Metro A Line stations closest to the Rose Parade route are:

      • Del Mar Station (walk .3 miles north to the parade route on Colorado Boulevard)
      • Memorial Park Station (walk .2 miles south to parade route on Colorado Blvd.)
      • Lake Station (walk .4 miles south to parade route on Colorado Blvd.)
      • Allen Station (walk .4 miles south to parade route on Colorado Blvd.)

      Getting to the Rose Bowl Game

      Take the Metro A Line (formerly Gold Line) to Memorial Park Station in Pasadena. Follow the signs for two blocks to the CFP Semifinal at the Rose Bowl Game pick-up location at Parsons Parking Lot. The free bus shuttle will take you directly to the Rose Bowl Stadium. After the game, simply reverse your route. (For help planning your MTA trip, call (323) 466-3876 or visit metro.net).

      It’s also possible to walk to the stadium from the A Line’s Memorial Park Station. It’s about 1.5 to 2 miles each way (depending on which gate you enter the stadium) and downhill to the stadium and uphill on the way back.
