Here’s the news release from Metrolink:

LOS ANGELES – Due to an annual track maintenance project, Metrolink train service will be limited on the San Bernardino Line on November 5-6, 12-13 and 19-20. While the buses provided by Metrolink will be used to provide transportation from San Bernardino County to Los Angeles County and back, these buses cannot be used for travel within San Bernardino County because different buses operate from each station.

During these closures, Metrolink will replace more than 9,000 railroad ties on the railroad tracks. This type of work is required annually to maintain the safest and smoothest commute. Metrolink will schedule closures when ridership is lowest to minimize the effect on the traveling public.

Train and bus info is after the jump.

On November 5 and 6:

Metrolink trains will operate on regular schedules and make all station stops between Los Angeles Union Station and Montclair. Limited bus service will be provided to and from the Montclair Station as listed below:

Eastbound:

·         Metrolink trains will operate on their regular schedule into Montclair. From Montclair, buses will be used to take passengers from Montclair to their destinations. Depending on traffic, passengers may arrive at their destinations at a different time than they would have on the train.
