    Is State issued temporary Photo ID acceptable to board?

    Once in Winter Park, I was asked for an ID" when boarding, my wife wasn't. Being on a senior fare, do you think I looked too young?? (Don't tell my wife I said that!).

    Amtrak moving forward to stop all, most LDT

    Maybe an effort to obtain non partisan support for the passenger train operations would have a greater long term positive effect rather than the insistence that only one party can advance the ball.

    Amtrak moving forward to stop all, most LDT

    Now thatI am retired I can enjoy the LD trains and hope to be able to continue using them. That said, someone once criticized a post of mine by saying “why should anyone subsidize your vacation?” They had a point but the end to end travel, is not the only thing that anLD train brings. For the...

    Miami Intermodal Center at Miami International Airport

    The news that a shuttle will be operated for the 24 trains which do not go to MIA is not good for those f us who take Tri Rail to the air port. The shuttle, as it operated in the past caused a big delay which is not good when you are trying to get to the train. I see no need for Tri Rsil to go...

    Greyhound vs Megabus vs BoltBus vs Sprinter

    The only bus I have taken is the “Hampton Jitney” from NYC out to the end of the line (visiting friends on Shelter Island), and it was nice.

    Amtrak travel insurance

    The deal with a rail/cruise is really on the crude side. Covers illness and transportation costs in out of the way places. In our case it was the rail part that was messed up? And though Amtrak fully refunded, Transamerica immediately acknowledged coverage and their travel people were...

    Amtrak travel insurance

    We had a great experience with Transamerica. I don’t know how they rank in cost but their service when we needed it on a Rail/cruise was outstanding.

    I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I am not sure that you realize that I did not mean what you heard.

    Airbus to Halt A380 Production

    On my return from my yearlong, all expense paid vacation by Uncle Sam in SE Asia, I was in a 707 stretch TWA charter when shortly after the pilot announced that we had reached the point of no return on the Honolulu to Travis Airforce base segment of the trip, there was a bump and then those in...

    The training and supervision of Amtrak's OBS crew

    When we were on 97 returning from Baltimore last December, we saw AC, who had been our SCA on a previous trip, in the kitchen, cooking. When we had a chance we talked to him and he advised that they were short of Chefs and asked him to perform he task on this trip. He advised that he was...

    Checked bags Silver Star/Meteor Florida to Poughkeepsie

    My wife and I have rolling duffle bags which fit nicely in the over the hallway space. The SCA will help you but my wife being agile scrabbles up and I hand them to her. She uses the top bunk to get them aligned to shove in. Make sure that your destination station also has checked bags. Our...

    CZ passenger injured near Truckee CA, unknown circumstances

    It is very possible that he will never remember exactly what happened. I apparently fell off the back steps when I was in the 4th grade and landed on the asphalt of our driveway shortly before my Dad got home around 5:15 pm when he found me lying there unconscious. My parents took me to the...
