Brightline has released a video and renderings of the future station at Orlando International Airport in Florida.
The 37,350 square foot station will open in Orlando International Airport’s new 80,000 sq. ft. Terminal C, while the airport’s automated people mover will connect passengers to Terminal A and B in under five minutes.
The new station includes three storeys and a variety of passenger amenities, including retail and dining options with a panoramic view of departing and arriving trains.
In addition, the station will feature self-service kiosks and touchless turnstiles into the security area, where all passengers and bags are screened before boarding.
“This world class train station continues our mission of transforming train travel in America. We have carefully thought through each detail of this station to ensure that it exceeds the expectations of the modern traveler.”
Passengers will access trains using escalators or elevators and will board from one of two new 1,000-foot long platforms. These platforms will accommodate trains with four cars and two locomotives that will transport passengers on the Orlando to Miami route in just over three hours.
To provide a nostalgic nod to historic train stations, the new station also includes a flip-flap message board that can rotate alphanumeric text and graphics to display train schedules, boarding times and news, along with the flip-flap sound that the first passenger train stations in America were known for.
Brightline’s Orlando station has been designed by Bigtime Design Studios, which also designed the newly opened stations in Boca Raton and Aventura.
