All aboard! COASTER Holiday Express trips return starting on Dec. 5

Tickets are already on sale — and going fast — for the North County Transit District’s COASTER’s annual Holiday Express outings starting on Dec. 5. This year the special holiday-themed train will run on Dec. 5 and 6, then return on Dec. 12 and 13, with departures each day at 10:15 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and the 5 p.m. “night train” ride. Tickets went on sale on Friday; a quick search on Saturday morning showed that spots in several cars had already been taken up. Tickets cost $35 with a limit of 6 tickets per purchase; children ages 2 and under are admitted for free, though they must ride in the lap of an adult. The hour-long rides depart from Platform 1 at the Oceanside Transit Center at 235 S. Tremont St. and make a round trip to the Solana Beach Station without making any stops. Seating for each trip begins 30 minutes prior to departure.
