First Class Lounge to open in LA Union Station?

[Bob Dylan]

Last week while in the main waiting room waiting for the Sunset Limited, noticed a section taped off and cushions pulled up. Is there a refurbishing project beginning that is related to posting of new hours? Or perhaps, they were just collecting "pocket change" from under the cushions!

Dang! Boardman sure has taken maximizing revenue to a new level!

James Hill might have even been able to learn something from him!

Ive watched the Homeless in LAX doing this since this is one of the Few (if only?) Stations that has Cushions in their Waiting Room Furnmiture! (I dont think Lounges Count, I havent seen any people in Suits looking for Change in any Lounge! :giggle: )

I'm wondering the same thing. Will be arriving on Eagle September 13th, hoping it will be open so i can wait there for Hertz to open.

I'll be on a Coast Starlight sleeper next year. Hopefully, the lounge will be open by then. :giggle:

I have inside information that says the LA Lounge will open the day after the new Metro Lounge in CUS opens!

I was in LAX on the 17th of August & in CUS on the 26th. When I inquired about the new lounges the reponse was about the same!!!!!! Laughter, Doubt,Who Knows, Depends On Who You Ask, I'll Believe It When I See It, ETC ......

It ain't that comprehensive, but FWIW, here are a couple photos I took when I visited the new lounge on September 25. From what I hear, at least some of this furniture is rented and will be replaced with permanent furniture sometime soon, after which a formal grand opening will be held.

IMHO: This looks to be another thread to be merged into the LAUS Metropolitan Lounge Master Thread

I was in this Lounge Wed. Night on the "Short Way" home from the Gathering. It definitely needs signs (t

emporary till the real ones arrive)! It is nice but already to small! Also there was a shortage of redcaps and carts for the 10pm boarding of the Sunset Ltd. Not sure if the other LD trains have this problem? It is a big improvement over the Traxx Lounge and once it is finished they can look @ecpanding it spacewise!

Thank you sir. And a very, :hi: Happy Birthday to you! :hi: - I think you are still riding the rails, if so, I'm sure it will be a happy one and what a great birthday gift to yourself!

I think this is still considered a "soft opening." Once things are up and running and the real furniture arrives, they will add signage and have an official opening.

The real furniture was there as of 10/16. The signage was not.

The Redcap informed me the lounge will be housed in a former gym/weight room on the second floor.

According to a Facebook post, the employee gym is now open again, in a new location in the crew base.
