Yes, even if you are booking/riding in coach, the staff will help you if you book with the request for assistance. When I boarded in Palatka, JAX and Tampa, I was offered assistance even though I had not requested it because I had my cane with me.

Why is it so difficult to accept that Brightline can turn a profit. It almost seems as though some are wanting Brightline to fail. Until facts and figures prove otherwise, I will accept that Brightline can turn a profit and, since they claim that they are now, will accept that also.

HSR Constructors: Brightline Phase 2 Orlando to West Palm Beach Expansion Sizzle Reel 2023

From what I read, one-way fares between Miami and Orlando will start at $79 for SMART service, and $149 for PREMIUM service. SMART fare bundles for families of four will be available for less than $199 one way. Travelers can expect to travel from Orlando to Miami on a nonstop Brightline train in...

Here is the Silver Star Dining Menu

Here is a video that was posted only a couple days ago. They are on the Silver Star from NYC to Orlando, and they commented on having traditional dining back on the Star - they did say that it is not on the Meteor - yet. They show their dinner around the 26:00 mark

That is a nice job. I took a look but will explore it more later. Thanks for the hard work

That's what I was thinking - maybe the shaking, swaying and thumping finally dislodged it ... or several flush attempts finally sent it on. Back in 2011 on one of the Silver's from Fl to NJ riding in coach we had one of the rooms "tied up" for about 30 minutes. When the guy finally came out the...

Brightline's Basecamp: An In-Depth Look at the Orlando Vehicle Maintenance Facility

All my bags have been soft-sided, and I have not had a problem checking them. I usually travel with a couple of duffle bags that I may check while carrying a couple more smaller duffels as carryon.

Even if I never get to ride the AT I do not plan to move to Florida when I retire ... however, I have ridden the Silvers in Florida several times.

It has been a long time since I have been to the Miami area (Hurricane Andrew 1992 - WOW 31 years) and I have no real desire to go back for a "vacation" I would consider a trip on Brightline just to see what it is like but, since I live in Florida, riding the Auto Trian would not be part of such...

Brightline Construction: Stuart Cutover and Double Track Activation - March 12, 2023

?? Not sure I understand this comment. Do you mean Amtrak should travel on the Brightline tracks or passengers should transfer to a Brightline train?

It's no different than the way they sell cars - promoting how fast they go from 0-60. The main difference though is that, while 0-60 doesn't matter much in the general use of a car, long distance speed does have an impact on the overall time of a long-distance train trip. Raising the average...

I fully understand that - but it still doesn't stop me from "wishing" it would happen :cool: As it stands now, I cannot try Brightline. If they came to Jacksonville, I could give it a try.
