    Hotels convenient to Amtrak

    Yes I like the proximity to the bus station. When I return home from my upcoming trip, with luck I will get a bus from from BOS and then the next morning I can get a bus right to my home town here. In the past I've left my car there and just driven home but I don't have a car anymore so spending...

    Anyone have any comments about the Clarion Hotel Airport which is right behind the Maine Transportation Center in Portland Maine?

    Runway Incursion and near miss at JFK

    I read some articles about this near miss. What amazes me is how seldom these scary things occur, with so many flights in progress at all times. I agree deep investigation is in order!

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    Well that's pretty good news because I'm going to take the Coast Starlight from Seattle down to Dunsmuir and back in coach to see my daughter! The published menus don't seem to show any prices, I wonder how they'll do that. My trip is still 6 weeks out maybe there will be information. Thanks...

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    This is probably been addressed earlier in the thread but I don't see any recent updates: Might we expect coach passengers to be allowed to eat in the dining car and pay for it anytime soon on any trains? Thanks, David

    Amtrak App discussion

    It has been several years since I tried the AGR app. Last night I downloaded it and have been playing with it today and it seems an awful lot better than it used to be. Does anyone know any tricks or tips that might not be evident to after just a few minutes of exploring? Thanks, D.

    Amtrak Customer Service

    More satisfaction. Called AGR twice today, no hold time, successfully extended my stay in Seattle by 2 days, was refunded about 2,000 points. New reservation now printed. Yay!

    Amtrak Customer Service

    As I mentioned elsewhere, yesterday I called and booked a round trip BOS - SEA for March. I had agent Perry, and she was extremely helpful, and we compared several different dates to get the best deals. In the process of doing so, when we found a deal I thought was good, we booked it and she...

    I SO appreciate the replies! I just talked to my friend in Seattle, and I think I will do last minute bucket checks tomorrow morning, call AGR, and book it! Depending on buckets, I may have enough points for the whole deal - but if not, coach for one night (on the way out) is fine. David

    Lake Shore Limited discussion

    OK, I'm getting closer to actually booking a trip Boston to Seattle in Mid-March, with the first leg(s) being the Lake Shore Limited. I have taken this train several times in the past, but not in at least 6 years or more. If I'm in a sleeper, and If the train is more or less on time, which...

    Repetitive search shutdowns, or timeouts

    Thanks. I understand some of that 🙂.

    Repetitive search shutdowns, or timeouts

    I was reading a post here regarding finding best prices/points requirements, and it was noted that in searching for best buckets, after a certain number of consecutive searches the system shut down for an unspecified period of time. Does this happen for all requests, or only for the same...

    I see a number of threads titled CZ Discussion, LSL Discussion, CS Discussion, etc. near the top of this forum. While there are specifics relating to the EB considerably lower down and older, I am starting this new one as a general Q & A. If A moderator needs to merge with another thread, so be...

    It doesn't seem that this question has been asked lately: How has on time performance into Boston been lately (these last few months)? I too have missed the last Concord Coach run back to Maine once or twice over the years. One time I think I was issued a small refund from customer service -...
