Thanks all - the refund hit my bank last evening. Since I use a credit union rather than a bank, any deposits generally post immediately.

Hi all, I searched for this, but was unable to find an answer either here or on Amtrak's site. How long does it usually take for Amtrak to credit back a debit card after an online cancellation? I booked online last year for a trip in May, and my travel plans changed and I canceled online...

Yes, that was Bridgewater's.

Bridgewater's Pub is, in my opinion, the best bar/restaurant inside a train station. They have a very impressive beer selection and the food is quite good. I go there even when I don't have a train to catch.

Where on Richmond Street?

Thanks!

Hi All, I know I've read this somewhere here, but a search has been fruitless in finding the information here and I couldn't find it on the Amtrak site either. What is the cost for each piece of checked baggage (I know under 50 lbs) over three is charged? I'm taking the Crescent down to New...

I live within short walking distance of the stadiums, so it's not an issue for me. People were due to pre-game at my house on Sunday before the game and walk the rest of the way. If Septa (and the political powers that be) had the will, they could probably fill the stadium using only public...

Typing in all capitals is considered SHOUTING in the world of the Internet. I find shouting at someone very abrasive.

Hmm. I traveled to and from Nottingham rail station in 1990. I don't recall it looking quite that posh.

The only boards currently are downstairs in the station - nothing on the platforms at present because of the contruction. So yes, passengers who have already ascended to the platform are reliant on announcements if there is a track change. And sometimes, the boards are incorrect too.

Hi All, I’m placing this in Amtrak Rail Discussion because it concerns an Amtrak employee and an Amtrak station. I don't know if many of you depart often from the Wilmington (Delaware) Amtrak station, but there is one Amtrak employee there who consistently gets boarding announcements...

Thanks!

Is anyone else having any issues at present? I tried logging in and it's telling me it doesn't recognize my credentials. I tried a few times - getting the number directly off my card.

Please do NOT attempt to conflate my personal opinion with any attempt at being logical. Had I wished to engage in a logical argument, you would have been unable to refute it. Perhaps a more productive use of your time would be to write a "logical" letter to Amtrak and attempt to persuade them...
