    What should Amtrak change?

    How do you envision this working?

    Avoiding a duplicate/impossible booking

    I would book with as little to connect as possible, you seem to have the bases covered. Perhaps use two different forms of your name?

    Amtrak payments to host railroads

    [citation needed] This suggests you have cause and effect reversed.

    Washington DC Union Station facilities, convenience and experiences

    My first job when I got out of the Navy was at 1100 NJ Ave SE, so I would frequently do that exact walk, and extend down over the portal of the Virginia Ave tunnel as well before arriving at the office. This was also right about the same time as I got my first DSLR, so I would frequently carry...

    I get that, and can completely respect it. But that boils down to the particular places that you're interested in going, which isn't going to the same for everyone. My particular complaint is with people that make factually inaccurate statements like: The walk is less than a half mile...

    Washington DC Union Station facilities, convenience and experiences

    That may well be the case if you’re a tourist (although I would still argue that literally the center of town) is right on top of where you want to be), but if you’re someone that lives and works here, the calculus is different. Would it be better if the station was serve by multiple metro...

    Long Distance (LD) fleet replacement discussion (2022 - 2024Q1)

    Does that make the written material suspect or the fanciful delusions of people that want to put their own meaning suspect?

    First time Amtrak rider traveling from Tampa to Norfolk

    It would be good to know where exactly @Beardalorian is going in the tidewater area - I'd rent a car at Newport News and drive to my final destination unless he's going somewhere actually served by transit.

    This couldn't be further from the truth. It's right in the middle of the city with the above mentioned bus service and metro service.

    AGR Credit Card change (October 2022)

    That's a 5 year old OS that hasn't seen a security update in over 2 years. Time to upgrade.

    You don't take a whole trainset out of service. If there are cars that need service, they're swapped out for cars that don't need service and then serviced.

    Long Distance (LD) fleet replacement discussion (2022 - 2024Q1)

    Just two. That's why delays cascade and are so hard to recover from (and end up with cancellations so often to get back on schedule). The operation depends on the train arriving in the morning to depart in the other direction that afternoon.

    Is this FY22-FY27 5 year plan the latest and greatest? https://www.amtrak.com/content/dam/projects/dotcom/english/public/documents/corporate/businessplanning/Amtrak-Service-Asset-Line-Plans-FY22-27.pdf This is what is says about LD Rolling Stock:

    You know, it's possible for both people to be wrong in a situation, right?

    Perhaps there was a nicer way to let the guy know he was mistaken. I'm shocked* that after that opening line you were treated with the same respect you showed. *I'm not actually shocked in the least.
