I could definitely use one. I wasn't able to qualify for Select Plus and didn't get the bump up from Select (I was a few thousand short of the 10,000). I travel the NEC often. Thank you for offering them to the group.
Yeah, the lack of information has been ridiculous. The train has been consistently late but Amtrak won't update the schedules to reflect it. And then there's the random bussing that occurs and sometimes they cancel all stops north of New Haven.
Does anyone know when the track maintenance will be done in Vermont? For the last few months, the Vermonter has been delayed for 60 minutes plus. Wondering when the work will be completed.
Just received an email that they're letting me have another year of Select Plus. I was 2,000 TQPs short of Select Plus. Hopefully, others get this, too.
Curious, have you actually been turned down at the lounge because your ticket? The desk does look at mine but I thought it was only to check if I was actually travelling that day.
Considering how empty the lounge is, they really should allow all Select Plus members in.
I'll miss Select Plus this year, as well, by only 1k-2k TQPs. I toyed with the idea of doing credit card spend to get the TQPs but ultimately decided against it. Like you, I like the unlimited access to the Moynihan lounge but I can always buy a pass if I'm traveling with family that needs to...
Wow! Thank you for adding so much detail. So when the Vermonter approaches the work area, it almost comes to a complete stop until the tracks are cleared?
I didn't realize the tracks north of Hartford needed that much work for so many years. I don't make it past Hartford so I always thought...
Thanks for the data. I wish Amtrak would provide some published information on these delays. I'm aware of the delays only because I use the various online apps. However, I'm sure there are passengers that rarely ride the Vermonter and are stuck waiting on the platform for an hour.
