Amazing, makes total sense! Thank you so much.

Somewhat unrelated to the overall discussion, but I’ve seen it multiple times in this discussion so hoping this question is OK: What does the number in parentheses mean? I’ve tried doing a search on here but can’t seem to figure it out. I’m new so hoping someone will go easy on me and wouldn’t...

I know someone mentioned it above, but just want to second that the AGR shopping portal is a great way to earn points with barely any extra effort. Anytime I’m purchasing online, I’ll check the search bar to see if the site I’m purchasing from shows up. I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the...

Hi! I am currently booked on a trip in September that consists of 2 train segments, KIN-NYP then NYP-ORL. When I booked, Amtrak automatically put me on the 10:41am Northeast Regional 161. I am wondering if there is an easy way to switch that segment to the earlier 9:40am Northeast Regional 99...

Thank you for this! Before my post was moved to this thread I didn’t really know much about the delays, but I have since done my research and read all 11 pages of conversation! 😂 It does seem that people are automatically moved over to the Star if their trips on the Meteor are canceled, so I...

Hi friends! I realize nobody knows for sure, but is it pretty definite that the Silver Meteor will return September 14th as planned? I’m new to the realization that this is currently out of service, and a Google search showed me that it was originally scheduled to return in May (and obviously...

I am doing this trip in September (from RI-I go KIN to NYP first) on Silver Meteor, so looks like it’ll be back in the fall! 🙂

Have you traveled yet? Curious as to which cars were VL II when you went if so! Thank you. :)

Ok good to know! I do know when I called to request a switch to 9712 that it was available as well, along with 9711. I didn’t decide to do it because no matter how many times I called or how many supervisors I asked to get transferred to, they could not figure out a way to do it without making a...

Thanks for the update! I’m taking my chances with the 9710 on June 23, fingers crossed! Obviously I’m so grateful to be able to travel and am fine with wherever I lay my head that night. Just thought it would be fun to check out the II in comparison to the I I was on in February. :)

Oh no! Sorry to hear that; that is my fear. Thank you for the info, and I hope you have a great trip regardless!

Yes, that's what I thought too, based on what you guys have said! I called 4 times and waited 30 mins to an hour each time. 4 different people told me that wasn't possible. At that point I just gave up, ha. I asked for a supervisor during the last call and she convinced me that that wouldn't...

This is great info, thank you! I am booked in a bedroom on the Silver Meteor on June 23, in the 10 car. I called to switch to the 12 car in the hopes that it would be a VLII, but it was $200 more so I decided against it. That said, I wouldn’t mind paying an extra $200 if there were a solid...
