Yeah, we're going to need you to show your work on that one.

Not particularly. Fares will move when people reserve/cancel or whenever they go in and reallocate. Can be any day.

Good catch - was thinking "same date" forgetting that I had to pull data on 98 originating Saturday to get Sunday AM performance. Sunday isn't appreciably different (a bit better, still not as good as 98):

It covers every Sunday, which is the day in question, in Philly, which is north of Washington. Obviously the early times turn into on time when the train is forced to wait. I’d book it with no more concern than I would a regional. Heck, look at 156: 15 times more than 30 minutes late as...

The facts don't support that assertion. Here's what 98 looks like in Philly this year and last:

Tell me you don't understand how Amtrak pricing works without telling me you don't understand how Amtrak pricing works. Fares charged are based on what people are willing to pay and how many people have paid, and aren't tied directly to what it costs to provide that service.

Concur. Take the best ones from the entire fleet, strip the remaining ones for spare parts, and the AT can remain SL-equipped for quite some time.

In a day and age where nearly everyone carries a portable screen on them, waste of time and money.

Is this from the Authorization Bill? The bit about competitive fares is better, but if they're selling at the current fare levels, I'm on board with getting what the market will bear.

Amtrak's mission is to be operated as a business, the protestations of RPA not withstanding. If we want them to have a different mission, it's up to us to make that happen via legislation and funding. Until that happens, expect more of the same. Put yourself in Amtrak's shoes - why put out...

More specifically, that's 10001 - generally used by Amtrak bigwigs for travel. More info here.

There’s a name I’ve not heard in a while. Stick around a while or we will ineffectually complain on the internet. 🤣

I’m all for that, but suspect this isn’t going to be a thing. Sitting at that intersection, they were told what runway to cross and what taxiway to do it on. If a left on kilo were possible, and that’s what they did, I would agree. But kilo ends there, so it was impossible to do anything but...

They were given two instructions, first to hold short of kilo, then to cross 31L on kilo. Seems pretty unambiguous.

Adding to the chorus of "yes".

Selecting the first departure of the day is a key limitation that should get some love. I guess you could check CHI-BAL if you want an idea of Cardinal fares if you'd rather do that than the Cap.

So it appears to be work, but I'm not sure of the utility. Here's what I get: Granted, the ongoing track work make NOL-WAS perhaps not the nest test case... But, I wish one could click on those details and get more information. Going from memory/basic Amtrak knowledge, I'll assume that the...

Same here. Looks promising. Station code don't work either, despite the prompt that they will.

That misses the fundamental point of an inventory. What happens when Aramark comes back and says "You only left behind one case of burger patties" when in fact there were 5 left over?

If only there were a way to find out what it's like to get from the metro station to the terminal.
