Hi,
Am planning my first Amtrak trip on the Coast Starlight from San Francisco to Seattle and have a query about the Thruway coach. According to Amtrak reservations the coach gets to the station for 21.50 and the train leaves at 22.07 but Amtrak also advise being at the station at least 30 mins before departure. Will the train wait if the coach is late or would I better off making my own way to Emeryville earlier on in the evening? From what I can see the Thruway coach is linked to the train but I don't really fancy getting stranded at the station because of traffic!
Also, apparently checked baggage is not available for at least one portion of my trip although helpfully it doesn't say which part, I assume they mean the coach? Will they check my backpack on arrival at the station? It is probably small enough to be a carry on anyway but would rather it was locked away safely.
Thanks
