Passenger Trains > Pacific Surfliner Schedule Revision?

Received notification from Metrolink regarding multiple changes to schedule on Ventura Line and inclusion of Amtrak Pacific Surfliner now making local stops at Northridge and Downtown Burbank, in addition to all other stations served by Metrolink.  Information depicts Pacific Surfliner operating on a different schedule for two of the existing and current trains.  Revisions are effective October 25.  Don't see anything in Amtrak schedules or notifications around this revision.  Anybody have additional information?  Looks like current 761 Pacific Surfliner will operate earlier and turn at Goleta much earlier in the day to provide an inbound LA trip early afternoon in lieu of equipment currently resting at Goleta for most of the afternoon.

Second train to SLO... 763 returns to SLO instead of ending at Goleta?

Nope.  761 returns as a 4am train from Daygo to SLO.  763 still terminates at Goleta and turns for 784.

Basically they rolled the schedule back about 10 years.

Lets try again eff Oct 25, numbers   and times change.

761 and 777  TO SLO   765 and 785 to Goleta

774 794    SLO     south

770 784    Goleta south

What is the reason for the :01 departure times rather than on the hour?

Railroads have a long history of avoiding using 'even' hours (:00). There were rules that train orders must not use even hours in the starting times.
