Brightline announced Wednesday that its Orlando service launch has been delayed -- during its final stages of certification.
Brightline says the Orlando station will no longer begin operating the inaugural rides between South Florida and Orlando on September 1st as planned, but did not provide an exact reason.
It comes just over a month after Brightline completed construction of its rail line between Miami and Orlando.
Brightline officially unveiled the Orlando station back in April before tickets went on sale in May.
