Oceanside CA street access

[Durham57]

When the Surfliner stops at Oceanside, sometimes in order to access the parking lot to walk to the street, cabs etc., we need to carry luggage down a steep ramp, cross over at the bottom and walk back up another ramp. The tracks are labeled Track 1 and Track 2. Does anyone know of an easier way to access the parking lot? There must be an accessible elevator or escalator somewhere...yes? There is also a quiet little street on the other side of the platform at platform level, where a driver could wait for a passenger. So far, have seen no gate or opening to this street. Any information would be appreciated. Cannot do ramps easily anymore!

I was just there, and went up and down those ramps several times. No short-cuts apparent. But the little street (and parking lot) on the west side of the tracks is open to the public, and makes a nice two-block walk down to the beach. No reason why you couldn't call for a cab and ask to be picked up right there, next to the tracks on the side away from the station!

Thank you, ps&r: Do you know if there is an open gate in the fence to access the little street?

No gate, you just walk right through. The opening is right next to the ramp and stairs that go under the tracks, immediately to the north of there.

Thanks again, p&sr! Will take your suggestion the next time at Oceanside.
