Bob Hope Airport Train Station is an unstaffed Amtrak and Metrolink rail station at Bob Hope Airport in the city of Burbank, California. It is served by both Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner from San Luis Obispo to San Diego and Metrolink's Ventura County Line from Los Angeles Union Station to Montalvo. The ten Pacific Surfliner trains that serve the station daily and 29 Metrolink trains that serve the station each weekday connect arrivals from the airport to downtown Los Angeles' Union Station in about 30 minutes.

A free airport shuttle transports passengers to and from the terminal area during the airport's operating hours, although the station is a short walking distance from the terminals.

Ticketing to and from downtown LA Union Station (Rail2Rail)

The station contains only Metrolink ticket machines; however, tickets to and from downtown LA (Union Station) are accepted at both Metrolink and Amtrak trains as part of the Rail2Rail program. Likewise, passengers with a valid Amtrak ticket between Bob Hope and Union Station may also use it for transport on Metrolink trains.
