There is considerable talk that the northbound Silver Star is losing its dining car after July 1. I hope that this is not true.
Silver Star. No more Viewliner sleepers.There is considerable talk that the northbound Silver Star is losing its dining car after July 1. I hope that this is not true.
It's a strange industry where the best customers can be ignored as weird, rather than a market segment to be catered to.The majority of customers already booked don't hang out on foamer boards and have no clue that anything may be amiss.
.That's an incredibly bizarre conclusion to draw from my comments.You genuinely think that this crowd of AGR points using, loophole trip seeking folks are Amtrak's best customers?
He's not wrong. The active members of this forum are a fraction of a percentage of Amtrak riders. We are not the majority. Not by far..That's an incredibly bizarre conclusion to draw from my comments.You genuinely think that this crowd of AGR points using, loophole trip seeking folks are Amtrak's best customers?
ouch
So let's do something to contribute to revenue: both Amtrak's and to our own peace of mind. Can I propose a few more gatherings around the country so for those of us who don't have time for more than one vacation from work, can attend? The National Train Day in Philly and Washington, DC of a few years ago come to mind.Nor are we anywhere near the biggest contributors in revenue.
Ditto.I am on the Silver Meteor right now and asked my attendant if he heard the rumor about no dining car on the Star starting in July. He confirmed everything that the guest posted above. However, in my opinion, it is still a rumor until officially announced by Amtrak.
I have some further information, but in the long tradition of these parlor games I can't say anything much until Monday. Apparently Amtrak is set to make an official announcement then, but enough of what I have is from channels that I can't disclose it publicly.I am on the Silver Meteor right now and asked my attendant if he heard the rumor about no dining car on the Star starting in July.
