    Amtrak to SEPTA?

    Just bought tickets to go to Philadelphia and discovered on the ticket this: "FREE SEPTA TRANSFER: This ticket is valid for free travel on SEPTA Regional Rail trains between 30th Street, Suburban Station and Jefferson Station." What does that actually mean? I can only go to those specific...

    Can't a senior purchase for self and adult?

    You're a genius! It just worked on Android! Just booked a real trip with it. Woo hoo! Thanks for this time- and frustration-saving idea!

    Taking photos inside a train?

    Can you imagine trying to enforce a no-pictures rule in the observation car of the LD trains? That's all people are there for! One of the most poignant pictures I took on the CZ was in that car at sunrise, taken from the far end. There was just one traveler, way down at the other end, face not...

    Can't a senior purchase for self and adult?

    Wow. So how is the average person supposed to know that? I guess you're required to be in a forum!

    Brilliant! You're not an IT professional are you? Because you're thinking like one. I gotta try this now!

    Can't a senior purchase for self and adult?

    Only to receive travel plans. Only primary person gets payment and billing information and the option to get delay notice texts. So let's say I'm treating a friend to a trip, and I'm the senior and they're the adult. I don't want them getting my payment information.

    Only to receive travel plans. Only primary person gets payment and billing information and the option to get delay notice texts. And that's on the website. The app is worse.

    No helpful ideas are stupid!

    Can't a senior purchase for self and adult?

    That's what I did, but now the names and contact information don't match what's in our accounts. I hope that doesn't come back to bite us somehow. I've sent an email to customer service. I know it could take weeks to get a response.

    Can't a senior purchase for self and adult?

    No, but "travel documents and receipts will be sent to the primary contact." So what happens if the adult is someone who is unable to handle travel documents?

    Can't a senior purchase for self and adult?

    I tried in the app and the website to purchase tickets SEA-SPG for myself and hubby. At the moment and for another year, I'll be a "senior" while he is still an "adult". When you indicate that one is an adult and one is a senior, there is no option to say who is what. When it came time to put in...

    Can't book on coast starlight?

    I've used the app and the website to try to book a trip from Emeryville to Portland OR but it keeps saying "we do not have any travel options between the stations entered." Any idea why?

    Amtrak in New England

    That's the one! If the rail service went all the way to Montreal, I'd be stopping in Brattleboro and many other towns along the way.

    Amtrak in New England

    You can get off in Brattleboro VT and walk across the bridge right there into Hinsdale NH and hike the mountain that looms over Brattleboro from the NH side. There's a great restaurant overlooking the Connecticut River at the bridge.

    New Traditional Dining Menu

    Happy to see this thread pop up as I was just thinking of doing another trip but wasn't so sure I wanted to face the same menu again (I know - first world problem!). What I'd like to know is if - or for how much longer - those pretty bad flex meals are/will be the only dining options on the...

    New Traditional Dining Menu

    I'm guessing the chocolate mousse is gluten-free.

    Which webcam is your favorite to watch Amtrak trains?

    Thanks for this! I'll look for it. We had a riot talking to and dancing for the people watching the Flagstaff webcams when we spent a couple nights there.

    Lake Shore Limited questions (Spring - Summer 2022)

    A couple days ago in the 448 headed for Springfield / Boston, there wasn't enough time for us to go all the way into the station. But at least we arrived in Springfield on time.

    Lake Shore Limited questions (Spring - Summer 2022)

    We just got off the LSL from Chicago at Springfield. The SCA took our dinner order at the same time he took our lunch order, around 10am. Lunch was in the dining car, dinner was brought to us in our rooms after Albany. And the train arrived on time!

    Question about missed connection in Chicago

    That would be wonderful. I used to know sports writer and boxing historian Bert Randolph Sugar, who often was in Chicago and loved it more than New York. He was going to be my guide to the city, but, alas, he joined the whiskey bar in the sky a few years ago. I will definitely look you up as we...
