I'll be on the 9/21 (Thursday) Lake Shore Limited train from NYC to Cleveland and I have a few questions. Thanks in advance if you can give me any feedback on these:
- First and most obvious question: can I expect the seat next to me to be empty on a Thursday departure in late September? I've never taken Amtrak outside of the NEC so I have no idea what to expect in terms of passenger loads.
- Are seats really assigned by the conductor when you board? Do you have any say in the matter?
- How often is the train delayed and is it ever early? Because I'm arriving at 3:27am, I'm hoping to get some shut eye between 9pm and 3am, but this is obviously contingent on the train not being early.
- Is there power at every seat on the LSL? I've read conflicting reports on this.
- Bags: I have one airline-sized carry-on. Would this be stowed above the seat like Northeast Regional trains or are these trains double decker with some other arrangement?
- Seats: I'm looking at some pictures of the Amfleet II seats and some appear to not have an armrest between the two seats? Is this normal? There does seem to be quite a bit of recline though.
Thanks for the help!
