Just because the website says ‘10 seats left’ does not mean that there are 10 seats left on the train. Rather, it means that there at 10 seats left at the current price (after that, will be a higher price). The Cardinal has a few coaches, a cafe, and sleepers/dorm car. It does not have a dining...

Only customer relations (different from customer service) can offer vouchers for ‘inconvenience’ things such as equipment issues and delays. See the linked post regarding the steps to contacting customer relations...

Here are some photos from Facebook regarding the current dining situation on the LSL.

I just took a screenshot of the screen that shows up when one searches to buy a PDX-SEA train ticket on Amtrak’s website.

There is a 'minor' schedule change starting on June 10. Schedules and tickets sales are already live. The biggest change is that the early morning southbound train (503), leaving Seattle at 5:52 AM will no longer exist. While train number 503 will still exist, it will essentially take over...

The CONO is back to doing cafe food in the SSL for sleeper passengers. No dining car.

I wouldn't worry about the bus part. But yes, going to Seattle and catching 8 is worth getting the dinner, IMO. However, it is up to you on how much you value dinner and what scenery you want to see. The scenery on 28 has much more water, whereas on 8 it is more mountainous (but you do follow...

And according to the comments it was only staffed from CHI-GBB 🤣

Here is another example. A coast starlight for next March has 35 roomettes (and 10 bedrooms) at the high bucket. It would be almost certain that this price will drop. Also, with this information, one can also tell that the consist will likely run with 2 sleepers + a transdorm.

Btw, doing a railforless search tells you exactly how many rooms are at the current bucket (even if the number is higher than 8).

Just saw a post on the ‘Friends of California Zephyr’ Facebook page. Looks like there is an LSA staffing the upstairs bar.

You need to be Select+ or above. A button will pop up at the top of the Home Screen.

One time when booking a reservation at the ticket desk, I saw an agent swipe my AGR card so they didn’t have to manually type in my AGR #

That’s technically still Amtrak policy, per the service standards manual.

Some trains (like the starlight and susnet) haven’t regularly run with a trans-dorm in recent years…

Haven't seen you post in a while! After having taken the Canadian this past December, I can see where you are coming from. If you travel during the off-season, room prices are reasonable. On top of that, berth prices are very reasonable. With the current conversion rate and sale, I found some...

It’s getting upgraded.

This would be correct. 2 points per dollar from FNBO, then 4 more points per dollar from AGR. So a total of 6 points per dollar. Keep in mind the FNBO points hit when your statement arrive vs the Amtrak points will hit when you travel (and in order to get the 4x points per dollar you need to...

Works for me on the app.
