    Northeast Regional discussion 2022-2024 H1

    I've a got a trip on the Carolinian coming up in a few weeks. I'm in business class. Most of the seats facing direction of travel are sold. Riding backwards has wide open availability.

    Amtrak Train Status tool for range of dates

    I just had to look at 20 into CLT. All things considered, not too many Bermuda Triangle mishaps.

    Where did all the shopping partners go?

    Hopefully Cartera is taking over the shopping portal. Or a vendor of similar quality. For those not in the know, Cartera runs a lot of the shopping portals for various airlines. I would also like to see Amtrak partner up with Rewards Network and offer a dining program. Earn extra points when...

    Amtrak Dining and Cafe Service discussion 2024 H1

    I guess a baked potato with chili was too much.

    New Phase VII P42: #174

    It's a nice livery. It's also nice to see Beech Grove turning out product. Even if it is just paint jobs.

    Preferential treatment for California Zephyr w/American View (10004)?

    I was being sarcastic. I think they might have their own food supply. Either way it's got to be better than even traditional dining.

    Preferential treatment for California Zephyr w/American View (10004)?

    If you are told they are out of AmSteak for dinner tonight, then you know who got first dibs on it.

    More Greyhound cutbacks and comparison with airlines

    I watched it. It's not as bad as it could have been.

    They look the other if it means screwing with Amtrak.

    FNBO closed account and deleted points - any chance to reinstate?

    Besides the Amtrak cards, I have another card with FNBO. I use it once about every 60 days. If I don't, they email me or send a letter telling me to use it at least once to keep it active.

    More Greyhound cutbacks and comparison with airlines

    Nationalize Greyhound? What are we going to call it? AmHound? I agree it's total mismanagement that has led to their demise. Screwed up labor negotiations back in the day too. Heck does Greyhound employees even have union representation anymore? Then there is the long standing image problem...

    Christmas morning shooting on the Coast Starlight

    The guy was probably talking to himself, and moving his hands wizardly BEFORE he got on the train.

    Amtrak Marketing

    If Amtrak decides they want to do some LD TV ads, I'm sure we could all contribute some story line material. "Book a $1800 roomette and we'll let wash your own windows in Denver"*** *** Must provide your own squeegee "Our Amfleets are polished to a mirror shine when the POTUS needs one for a...

    Once our gateway center in Charlotte gets completed, the idea is to have Amtrak, Greyhound, some city busses, etc in one spot.

    I not sure anyone in Congress, much less the DOT cares about a bill of rights for passenger bus.

    Amtrak delays 2023 H2 - 2024

    I've called and have received vouchers a few times for a very late 20 coming into Charlotte. Nothing excites me more than getting into NYP after midnight.

    The lackluster employees are probably passengers too. Crap begets crap.

    Like most things........ they don't build'em like the used to. Style and character.

    NEC riders complaints are similar to LD riders

    Grassley is probably getting calls from people at the retirement village wondering what happened to the fire sale fares. lol. Or how they are getting priced out by people willing to pay $1800 one-way for a roomette. Honestly though, even if Amtrak could put every last car they have into revenue...

    More Greyhound cutbacks and comparison with airlines

    Flix still uses curbside here in Charlotte instead of using the Greyhound terminal. Why? I don't know. Barons and a few others use the Greyhound terminal. I see lot of young and clean looking people boarding Flix busses. Drive over to the Greyhound terminal, and it's riff raff boarding...
