Brightline has announced plans to finally expand and connect Orlando to Tampa via high-speed rail

The president of Brightline Trains met with transportation leaders in Orlando on Wednesday to discuss the company’s expansion project through Central Florida

The $2.4 billion project extends the company’s current rail line from West Palm Beach to Orlando. Currently, the line runs from Miami to West Palm Beach.

Last week, Brightline and Walt Disney World Resort announced an agreement to build a train station at Disney Springs.

Brightline expansion as it pertains to Disney World Guests really is allowing vacationers the opportunity to explore so much more that Florida has to offer without the stress of having to navigate to travel to those locations.

The Miami to Orlando International Airport service should launch by late next year, while the Orlando-Tampa route is expected to break ground in 2022, with an opening date of 2025.
