TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — One day after Tampa officials toured Brightline high-speed rail facilities across Florida, Mayor Jane Castor enthused about the company’s proposed expansion to Tampa.

The details are still in the works, Castor said Tuesday, but city’s long-awaited Brightline station will be built in the Ybor City area.

“The route is already laid out from Orlando to Tampa,” Castor said. “It will basically go down the middle of I-4 and then come in to the Ybor City area, where the Brightline station will be located.”

At some point I was wondering if they had cancelled the Tampa leg of the Brightline plan. Glad to hear that isn't the case. Hopefully it materializes some day.

I wonder how fast it would take and if there's any plans to cross Tampa Bay to the beaches.
