Lauderdale, and expanded service to Miami and two other stops.  Service to Orlando will happen in 2023.  I have taken it, and can report that it is a wonderful experience.  Parking is right across the street from the train station at West Palm Beach, and the station is modern, with good lighting, and very safe and clean.

 

I took the Select service, which is like Business Class, and it has it's own waiting area, with snacks and beverages.

 

The trains run on time, and the staff are knowledgeable and efficient.  As an alternative to driving, I did the run from WPB to Miami yesterday, leaving at 10:00 on the dot, and arriving at 12:17.  There was a brief stop in Ft. Lauderdale.  It seemed like about 4 minutes.
