Concertgoers hoping to catch a ride on a train to this year’s Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals are out of luck. Concertgoers would board an Amtrak train at Los Angeles’ Union Station to get to the Indio Transit Center, where they’d board a shuttle to arrive at the festival grounds. But construction “hasn’t been feasible this year,” said John Standiford, deputy executive director of the Riverside County Transportation Commission. The proposal for the train, an $8.6-million project with transportation from Los Angeles to Indio, was submitted in 2018 by Riverside County transportation executives. Advertisement“These discussions include the potential construction of related infrastructure in the Indio area to support the proposed service,” McMahan said.
