FIRST LOOK INSIDE the New Brightline Train Station in the Orlando Airport

We’ve been waiting a long time for the new Orlando Brightline Train route to be completed, but we’re one step closer now!

This high-speed train already has stations in Miami, Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach — but soon a new route will connect these areas to Orlando. The Orlando Airport Station is one of the biggest milestones the company has been working towards, and today, we got a sneak peek at what’s to come!

Celeste Springer of Spectrum News 13 shared the first look at the inside of the new station at the Orlando International Airport today on Twitter. You can see an area to buy snacks, seating areas, a peek at Mary Mary Bar (a craft cocktail bar), and more.

According to Spectrum News 13, the station is 37,350-square-feet and has 2 main platforms (each of which is as long as the Eiffel Tower!).

The station will also have 2 lounges — a smart lounge and a premium lounge. You can see some of the premium lounge below.

And of course, we have to take a look at the train itself! Springer notes that the premium seats have premium leather and priority boarding.

It’s interesting to note that, as Spectrum News 13 points out, “Brightline is currently the only rail system in America that screens all passengers and bags prior to boarding.”

Once this new station opens, passengers will be able to take the train from Orlando all the way to Miami, and a further stop “near” Disney World has been teased for the future.

Though the station is getting close to done, the train isn’t running to Orlando for passengers yet. That service is expected to start sometime later this year, “possibly by the summer.”
