    Seeking Surfliner Advice for March 2023

    Thank you! How reliable is the on-time performance of the Surfliner in that stretch from San Diego to LA? It looks like I'll also need to take the 591 after an Anaheim Ducks game leaving at 11:10 p.m. to get back to LA. 15-30 minutes I can handle, 5 hours, not so much.

    Redeem eVoucher For Food?

    I have $20 leftover from an eVoucher. Am I able to redeem an eVoucher on a Cafe Car or Dining Car? Or, is there a way I can convert the eVoucher, whether it's at a ticket office or some other method, to some other form that I would be able to use for a meal while aboard the train?
