I still think the low level bridge is still the most likely scenario. It is the same height as the other nearby roadway bridges when closed, and also the cheapest which makes it more competitive for Federal funding (the most crucial for this project, unless the State radically changes its...
For whatever it’s worth, I did decide to take advantage of the 50% off offer for my first joyride to Orlando this Friday and 2/3 of the seats appear taken.
Received a targeted ad on Facebook that fares between WPB and Orlando are up to 50% off through 11/16. Looks like you can take advantage by directly going to Brightline’s website without a link or promo code.
I was under the impression that Brightline conductors ride upfront with the engineer, similar to Via.
Also, I don’t believe the FEC calls out signals (although there was a brief stint not too long ago where they did). I remember when Brightline first started testing they would call out “hot...
So I was skeptical on how this would play out, but it seems like a huge fare reduction? My mother recently paid ~$50 from West Palm Beach to Palatka, but it now looks like the senior fare is $27 with fully refundable being $29.
Edit: Maybe the Florida fares are just steeply discounted? From WPB...
Looking at WPB to Orlando all the trains tomorrow are priced at $69 except the first trip priced at $89. Unless my math is wrong, this Florida Pass is $99 per trip. The weekend tickets will likely end up being more expensive, but with a little planning I fail to see the current value in the pass.
Is the Meteor back to traditional now? Amtrak's website is useless since when you attempt to book a ticket on either of the Silvers it shows both as flexible dining. The onboard dining page still says the Silvers are using flex, but the traditional page has a sample menu for the Silver Star.
With a 3 day weekend, I was looking at doing a quick Brightline joyride. Tickets are $30 one way in Smart, and in some cases $100 for premium. Despite that, the seat map shows pretty high occupancy. An old coworker would ride Brightline a few times a week to work and can confirm the trains are...
Im expecting my trip on Friday to be cancelled. Last night I booked a refundable flight for Saturday just in case, although looking at the weather forecast for New York City does not look promising for Saturday either!
I actually considered booking a refundable flight months ago when I made my...
Apparently Brightline is no longer considering a stop at the Fort Lauderdale Airport.
