I had trouble sleeping during my last LD trip. I think I only got like two hours of sleep. I too would look out the train window and watch the night time scenery roll by. I was awake for every station stop except for one I think. Next time I do an LD trip I’m bringing Dramamine because of...

Great report, very informative.

Hello all, I have a couple questions about the Martz thruway bus tickets you can purchase through Amtrak. I'm taking a trip to Baltimore in a couple weeks and for the return trip I booked the Vermonter BAL to PHL and then on a different day I bought the Martz bus ticket via the Amtrak app to...

Great report! You packed in a lot! Nice to see my area of PA show up in a trip report. I love Steamtown. I went there so much when I was a kid.

I found out that I can use an evoucher to buy thruway bus segments on Amtrak, so I used my remaining evoucher for the bus ride back to Wilkes-Barre from PHL. The receipt says the ticket can only be used with a train segment. Is it okay that the train segment was booked separately?

We’re you in coach, business, or sleeper?

I would love it if a cafe car voucher were an option for sleeper passengers.

I think I would rather have my meals from the cafe car than the diner on this train. I enjoyed what I had from the cafe car last time I rode the LSL and I like the cafe car menu better.

Thanks. I was curious about this.

Usually I would stay in Downtown in any city, but when I went to Hotels.com to look for hotels on the dates I wanted, the lowest I could find was $400 a night. Not sure if this is normal for Boston or if maybe an event is going on? That's why I started looking at Route 128. I heard about the...

Hello, I’m thinking of taking a trip to Boston and I see that there’s a hotel near the Route 128 station that has a good price. Is the area pedestrian friendly? Would it be safe to walk from the station to the hotel? I don’t drive. Thanks in advance

Does anyone know if 448/449 will still have the cafe car?

Thought I would post an update. I took advantage of Amtrak's sale on April 1 and bought an NER ticket from NYP to BAL. For the return trip home I bought a ticket on the Vermonter from BAL to PHL, which was at regular saver fare, no sale for the Vermonter. I still have $30 left on an evoucher...

I've been meaning to reply to this post you made, but I forgot. The mall would've been fine, but the problem is that I don't drive and the CENTRO bus schedules between the mall and SYR didn't work out unless the LSL is running late. We were running late when the train reached SYR, so I probably...

Great report so far! Makes me want to ride the LSL again. I love the scenery on the Hudson.

It’s fine.

Didn’t realize there was different rules depending on how you received the voucher, so that’s why I said that.

The vouchers I have came from canceled trips.

One is worth $81, the other is worth $29.25.

So I’m planning a trip to BAL for the end of July/beginning of August and I have $110.25 worth of eVouchers that I want to use up before they expire in October. This trip to BAL is the only Amtrak trip I have planned for this year. I plan on getting there by taking the Martz trailways bus from...
