Went down the shore a number of times this summer and multiple times had surprise 60-90 minutes added to my trip because of cancelled trains. One time, the Long Branch to NY train was cancelled, so I arrived in Long Branch with basically nothing to do for 90 minutes.

It was a very unpleasant summer.

I'd like to see #684 return on the M&E. That trip is ugly without it.

Something that we have barely acknowledged yet is that with this plan Amtrak has managed to consolidate all food service into a single car while reducing staffing, ensuring provision of hot meals and allowing for private dining to sleeping car passengers either in room or at the lounge tables. I'm ...

Sad thing about this - my most recent full diner meal - a dinner on the Meteor- was excellent - the land and sea combo. The steak was cooked to perfection and the cut of beef seemed better quality than the last time I had the same meal. The crew did a great job - and now are likely getting laid off...

But booking Seven Months in advance - and no more refunds - I don't know. My days of joyrides are, sorry, over. My understanding is sleeper refunds are still fine as long as its before 24 hours before departure. While Amtrak is FAR from perfect in MANY respects. Most of my experiences have been pre...

I'm confused. The Capitol Limited does not have real dining service. So what happened here?

I don’t see any advantage to this station over the current one. I’ve used TriRail to the Metro transfer station in roughly the same spot at the Amtrak station. It’s a kind of dingy looking area, but didn’t seem at all unsafe to me. What is the use case for Amtrak to the airport? The Metro goes more ...

Sure, but if you want to be taken seriously, you should probably make yourself aware of the fact that Amtrak was started precisely to allow the railroads to exit the passenger business because none of them wanted it or could make money at it. I wasn’t alive for A-day either, but that doesn’t mean I ...

No one has said a thing about why they don’t repeat the already known to be successful 24 hour diner experiment.

Wonder where all of these incredible entrepreneurs who could save the railroad were on A-day and shortly before.

I’m flying to Chicago for the first time later this month. Have always previously taken Amtrak. They no longer want my money.
