Sure do. Will there even be trains in 2925 ? :)

This is true. I've been doing it for half a century while visiting just about every state in the Union. ( Yes Alaska, I'm coming for you before I'm pushing up the daisies 😂 )

We're on the 9am 4/21/25 out of NOLO so we'll definitely wave back at you.👋 Restoring old buildings was our great hobby too - the last one was a bit tricky as it was 300 years old . 😂

Quick update. We finally booked over the phone for April 2925. I rang the 215-856-7924 number from a landline and waited 45 minutes on hold before booking using an evoucher. NOLO to LAX $1026 for two Seniors in a Roomette minus $400 evoucher. Coach 130 Room 3. Hope it's a nice one.

Thanks for everyone's input. We finally booked NOLA-LA over the weekend for April 2025. $1026 for two Seniors minus a $400 evoucher we had from a previous trip. Car rental is not a problem for us - we've driven all over the US many times. And it makes sense to pick up wheels in LA to drive back...

International calls on cell-phones are very expensive. Landline 'phones less so particularly if you're able to use a work 'phone which, being retired, we no longer do. For e-sim in the US THREE UK still have an incredible GO ROAM deal on their physical PAYG Sim which allows US roaming at their...

Thank you for all the replies particularly Peter's in-depth response and all the details about the sketchy area around Palm Springs station. I had no idea. Based on that we'll rejig our plans to probably go from NO all the way to LA and hire a car. It would certainly make sense as that is most...

We have the option of doing either of these journeys next April and wondered if there was anything to be said , scenically, for starting from New Orleans instead of Houston to Palm Springs. We have been to NO previously and have no real desire to go back but wonder if we'd be missing out by...

I'm with you. Unable to use the voucher for an online booking as it rejects it so that means calling. Which on a cellphone/mobile from the UK to the USA and the inevitable being put on hold is not ideal. Trying to find someone with a landline 'phone but hardly anyone I know has one these days.

A quick update to our ongoing voucher situation. We took our intended journey from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando - tried to use the voucher when booking at the station but were told this could only be done online. After our return from the US we once again emailed Amtrak expressing our frustration...

The situation is that whilst the Amtrak website recognises and accepts the voucher I'm trying to use is valid when it comes to the making payment stage it merely says there are problems, you need to ring. I'm just trying to find a way of doing this without hanging on in a queue on a...

Tried that. Can't use a US 1800 number from the UK.

It's interesting that you see no Live Chat while located in the US. I'm not on any social media but I got my son to contact Amtrak via Twitter. According to them Live Chat doesn't work outside the USA and they only discovered that after several back and forths on Twitter. But it looks like it's...

Not on Twitter and don't want to call the US from a cellphone in the UK and be kept on hold. After emailing them again yesterday I received a reply telling me to use the Live Chat function on amtrak.com or the app. I cannot find a Live Chat function on either of them. Amtrak's Center of...

Nearly 11 weeks on from our initial inquiry to Amtrak and still no response. Our date of travel draws near. Amtrak is still not allowing me to use our travel voucher to make a booking. Any thoughts ?

Are we able to use a voucher provided by Amtrak for a problematic California Zephyr journey on regular trains ? Trying to book online a journey from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando for Nov ( the voucher runs out a few days later and we're only using a portion of it ) but getting rebuffed. Trying to...

I tried that but even " Julie " is not responding on the home page ...

I'm trying to book a couple of seats from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando in November partly using vouchers supplied by Amtrak after they were unable to provide cooked food for most of a California Zephyr's journey from SF to Chicago. The online booking site won't let me. I emailed Customer Service...

Hi: Can anyone point me in the direction of the Amtrak wine list please ?

Call me old-fashioned but it should not be beyond the ability of a modern 21st Century transportation system to be able to offer this service free to its customers. Even the cheapest, no-frills airline offers you an instant guide to when their prices are cheapest - as a marketing tool to fill...
