Doesn't fnbo customarily give 2 agr points for each $ spent on Amtrak and 1 pt/$ for everything else charged (except dining which is also 2 pts/$).

You can add VA to your list. Charlottesville has 8 Amtrak trains 3 days a week and 6 the other 4 days - and we're not even on the main line which goes via Richmond.

So does double days mean if I'm registered and I spend $800 to travel this weekend that I'll get 6x points? That is: 2x from fnbo+ 2x from AGR doubled? If it does I think I'll go to Atlanta. 😀

I recently needed to cancel a trip. Rather than cancel my Amtrak reservation I decided to modify my same endpoints to a later date. In doing so Amtrak offered me a new higher price but also the option of a Flex fare $4 higher than Saver fare. The Flex fare is fully refundable even though the...

I see now 134 terminates NYP rather than BOS as 176 did. More like the weekend service.

I wonder why NER176 was changed to NER134 after all these years. 171, the opposing route #, has not changed and the schedule for both has not changed.

What exactly are server-signal issues?

I've pretty much had it with FNBO. I refuse to give them any authorization for autopay or anything on their own site. When I send them messages on their secure message page they consistently reply as if they didn't even read the question much less answer it. I don't need the points. I used to...

I recently stayed 3 nights in Chicago between Cardinal trips at The Sonder on Wabash btw Madison & Monroe. $443. It was the nicest Airbnb of my long experience. Full kitchen, King bed, large living room, 15' ceilings. It was all very well done and pleasant. Quiet on 5th floor back of building...

Imo this is precisely the desired and intended response.

Is that the new platform? Finally open? Never have I seen Acela on the lower level. Too often crowded as it is.

I experienced Flex Dining on 51 and 50 last week. I had salmon twice, enchiladas and something else I don't remember. Not terrible but not good. The omelette was not good. I didn't care for the butter cake or the brownie. Service was typical Amtrak - inconsistent, confused and at their...

I was hanging around Union station TGD as I had to vacate lodging by 11am and Cardinal departed 5:55pm, on time. The lounge was deserted like everything else. 5 sleeper pax boarded. I walked down Jackson Blvd to Greek Town for lunch at a Japanese place.

20 had 3 coaches (plus cafe 2 sleepers and bagdorm) this morning as usual. I'd say they loaded 50 pax at CVS.

I stopped counting at 150 people this morning on the CVS platform waiting for ner156. The most I've ever seen. This is after first 151 then 20 came through and picked up dozens of pax each. 156 was 27 minutes late for no apparent reason except the meet with 151. No freight traffic at all, I...
