Inside one of the only high-speed trains in the US
Imagine bolting at up to 125 mph on a vibrant yellow train, whisking you away to a world of fashion and style. Meet Brightline, the newest high-speed rail network in the US, where travel becomes a fashion runway!
Brightline’s Orlando route opened its doors in September, and it’s quickly gaining popularity, doubling frequencies like a model changing outfits. As a fashion-loving traveler, I recently hopped aboard the fashion express myself, and let me tell you, it’s a sartorial journey you won’t want to miss!
Step onto this high-speed catwalk, with fares starting at just $79! Comparable to Amtrak’s Acela, Brightline may be tiny compared to its European and Japanese counterparts, but it packs a stylish punch. Countries like France, England, the Netherlands, and cue drumroll Japan boast trains that bolt up to a staggering 186 and 200 mph! Talk about runway-ready!
But fear not, my fashion-forward friends, for Brightline’s vibrant yellow trains will make your style senses tingle. Painted in the shade of pure sunshine, these trains will remind you that life is too short for monochromatic travel!
Designed by the ever-so-chic Siemens Mobility, Brightline’s locomotives are a testament to exquisite craftsmanship. With options divided into “smart” and “premium” fare types, there’s something for every fashionista’s taste.
In the smart car, you’ll find a cozy 2×2 layout, perfect for capturing your fabulous outfit of the day. But if you seek solitude and don’t mind splurging a bit, the premium cars offer solo seat options, so you can slay the fashion game without interruptions.
Regardless of the car, prepare yourself for an oasis of legroom and hip space. Brightline takes “comfort couture” to a whole new level! Imagine reclining in a seat taller than the Eiffel Tower, complete with wings around the headrests for a touch of privacy. Wave goodbye to cramped and hello to fabulous!
Not impressed yet? Let me introduce you to the amenities. Each seat boasts a built-in seatback pocket, perfect for holding your fashion magazines and travel essentials. Stay connected with the onboard WiFi, ensuring you never have to miss a style update. And with tray tables and power outlets at your fingertips, you can work on your laptop or capture flawless selfies for your Instagram feed.
Oh, did I mention the tinier table? Yes, you heard it right! Brightline knows that fashionistas need room for more than just their fabulous selves, so they’ve included a small table, perfect for mounting your phone to stream the latest runway shows or snapping envy-inducing selfies.
Worried about where to stow your luggage? Fear not! Brightline’s impeccable taste extends to the luggage racks, conveniently placed above the seats and at the end of each car. No outfit changes left in disarray!
And let’s not forget about the washrooms. These fashion-forward trains have restrooms located between each car, ensuring that even when nature calls, you’ll never have to compromise on impeccable style.
Now, let’s talk service. Imagine attendants gracefully gliding through the aisle, taking your meal orders and offering delectable drink options. The premium ticketholders, darling, are in for a treat! They can indulge in a complimentary meal item while sipping on their favorite fashion-worthy beverage.
The menu onboard is a culinary catwalk itself! From egg sandwiches on pumpernickel bread to refreshing yogurt and Caesar salad, Brightline ensures that your taste buds are always on-trend. Although the prices might be a tad steep, bringing your own snacks can save you a few bucks for that new pair of designer shoes you’ve been eyeing.
With Brightline dominating the fashion scene in Florida, their eyes are set on a successful line out west. Picture this: Brightline West connecting Las Vegas to cities in California. The ultimate fashion adventure awaits! And, to ensure this dream becomes a reality, Brightline recently received a $25 million federal grant. It’s clear that this high-speed catwalk aims to conquer the fashion world, one stylish route at a time.
So, my fashion mavens, hop aboard Brightline and let the world witness your impeccable style as you travel at lightning speed. With comfortable seats, impeccable amenities, and a dash of elegance, this high-speed railway will leave you feeling like you’re strutting your stuff at New York Fashion Week.
