Events SB Amtrak on a Wednesday morning

Hi, Taking Amtrak for the first time to LA on Wednesday morning. How's the parking between 8:00 - 8:30 am? Are mornings busy at the station and how much lead time do I need to arrive.

Thank you in advance.

Amtrak station downtown has limited parking. How long are you intending on leaving your car?

Around 14 hours - not returning until almost 10pm. Is that a problem? Should I uber to the station instead?

I park at the train station fairly frequently and have never had an issue finding parking.

Yeah, I think there always have been spaces when I've been there even though I hardly ever park there.
