Silvers Suddenly Sold Out (3/9-3/11)

[Anderson]

So I went to book a space on a Silver train to Florida and all of the trains are suddenly sold out for at least the next three days. Does anyone know what happened here (i.e. was it the Carolinian accident)?

Edit: SB space is...astoundingly un-available in the sleepers over the next few weeks (as in, I think the first roomette south I can find is almost two weeks out).

My bet would be #80 accident.

They probably don't want to sell any more tickets for trains that may not run at all. Things should free up once the wreck is cleared and the line reopened.

Next week, spring break begins for schools around me - could that have any impact on those bookings?

As noted in the thread on the Carolinian collision, the Auto Train is running tonight in both directions on your route, but both consists are getting a late start. Take it a day at a time and keep Amtrak on your speed dial.

Spring break is this week in much of North Carolina.
