My most typical train travel is between Wilmington, DE and NYC. Wilmington being in the middle of the route, seats can be hard to find as it is. Luckily, for my next trip (booked before they started the backwards seats) it made economic sense to use Acela northbound and business class...
Have a Business class trip booked in April and recieved an update with my seat reassigned. Luckily still forward-facing. I assume they moved people around so those who booked forward facing stay that way.
So does this mean, effectively, if you want to guarantee a forward-facing seat you have...
Unfortunately, nosy people tend to be expert in getting information they just somehow...find out.
It does depend where she is standing relative to your car, which will just be luck. Get off as quickly as possible so she'll have less time to look.
I don't know what kind of station you are...
Still nothing on the local newspaper website or local radio or tv websites. According to the site from the initial link, a K-9 alerted to unattended bag- no info was given regarding what was in the bag.
Admittedly, Wilmington, Delaware may not be on top of the news media's list of priorities...
If your reference to DART 301 is to the bus operated by the Delaware Transit Authority between Wilmington and Dover, you may want to double check with them. DART busses have exterior racks for bikes mounted on the front of busses. There is only room for two bikes. Riders are responsible for...
I finally gave in and called. Took two tries. The first time, I was under the impression Customer Relations was open for a few hours after business hours and called just after 5 (Eastern). I asked for Customer Relations,was transferred and heard the repeated message that agent are still...
Some employers actually prohibit employees from working "unauthroized" overtime. If Amtrak does so, the employees are in a position where they must both close out/clean the cafe/dining car to Amtrak's standards and do so without triggering overtime. Depending on what they are specifically...
I suppose that is one up side of the flex meals. Less opportunity for equipment failures or problems obtaining an ingredient. Since they are pre-made, as long as the microwave or convection oven (which ever they use) is working, and there is a way to refrigerate the meals prior to preparation...
As of a few weeks ago, the desers were brownies or butter cakes- both of which I liked (not 4 star restaurant, of course but tasty). I can't remember which desert came with which entry.
I scheduled a weekend trip from Wilmington, DE to NYC this coming November. Oddly, Acela was actually cheaper than NE Regional Coach, so I book Acela (both ways). No significant difference in travel time at that distance, but (from what I hear) slightly nicer seats and no need to search for a...
All- The bag was, in fact at Wilmington Station. Strange, because the other potential trains for it to come in on arrived before mine and I do believe the baggage attendent checked for it the night I arrived. To avoid parking issues, I needed to go by the station on a weekend and the first...
Is there some sort of parcel service, perhaps not as fast as UPS (etc) which you could use to ship stuff from Florida to Boston? Perhaps there are moving companies which will transport just a few boxes?
Have my bag back. Someone in another thread suggested checking at the station to see if it showed up. Unfortunately, there is no way to call the station (only number I could find was the general Amtrak number) and I had to wait 'til the weekend to avoid parking issues (I come into my office on...
Look at how much you can consolidate- no need for it to be "neat" inside the suitcases or bag. Could any of the carry-ons fit in the large suitcase? Spending a night in DC would give you also give you a chance to see how things can be consolidated before you start shipping stuff. One thought-...
