Lake Shore Limited discussion 2023 Q4 - 2024

Just want to follow up on the bus substation from Boston to Albany. The bus did have an Amtrak attendant and he handed out snacks and water at the start of the trip. Thanks to this site I also brought food and glad I did. It made the trip bearable. I don't recommend this route though and I would look to circumvent it in the future.

Just as a matter of interest, did all passengers receive snacks, or just sleeper passengers?

All passengers received snacks and a small bottle of water.

Strange that didn't happen on my journey from Albany to Boston a few weeks ago... I wonder who got all those snacks? A lot of Amtrak workers do seem to be a little overweight...

The Boston - Albany bustitution route is certainly a disappointing experience and one that I will plan to avoid if possible. The train route, however, when it runs, is usually a pleasant experience and I always look forward to the nice run along the Westfield River in western Massachusetts.
