“The work began today and will continue through at least Oct. 4,” said Paul Gonzales, a spokesman for Metrolink. During the highest tides of the year, waves sometime crash onto the tracks in Orange County. There will be no alternate bus service to connect to the San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente or Oceanside stations. Coaster trains operated by North County Transit District between San Diego and Oceanside are not affected by the suspension. Normally, more than a dozen Metrolink trains from Orange County stop at the Oceanside station, where they pick up an average of 191 passengers daily, Gonzales said.
