    Fare Buckets discussion 2023 Q4 - 2024

    An updated bucket chart just got posted here: https://www.amtraktrains.com/threads/long-distance-train-coach-sleeper-fares-buckets.77062/page-7 Some fares only went up $1 but most had hefty increases. Note that CL and SS fares are valid only through about 8 Nov 2024. Legibility's not the...

    Tampa Union Station

    Last mile transport between train station and cruise terminal

    While that may be so it's speculation. What's not speculation is that VacationsToGo shows 9 of 11 sailings out of Tampa the rest of this month are sold out: https://www.vacationstogo.com/ticker.cfm?incCT=y&d=315&sm=20245&tm=202412&pdm=1 Of course, Miami and Ft. Lauderdale have more dock...

    Should I take the "Amtrak Northeast Corridor" survey?

    If you consider a 25% off coupon to be meager, then I don't think you should take the survey.

    California Zephyr discussion 2023 Q4 - 2024

    Don't worry about it. Even if they're spotlessly clean when departing Denver, after the first few tunnels diesel exhaust residue will dirty them up nicely. If it's dry outside dust churned up from the roadbed will add to the grunge. And if it happens to be raining that'll cause streaks in the...

    Tampa Union Station

    One reason for the large number of passengers is Tampa is a cruise ship port - one of five or six in Florida

    Southwest Chief discussion Q4 2023 - 2024

    Hint: Join AGR. AGR agents are the best Amtrak has and I've never waited more than about a minute to get in touch with one.

    Fare Buckets discussion 2023 Q4 - 2024

    When I do a search for new fares for a train I usually do about 30 searches on different days at one sitting, then wait until Arrow allows more searches. Prompted by your post, I just completed the search for both Silvers and both Lake Shores and only needed to make estimates for two fares not...
