That's not the customers fault or concern there. The issue is high prices, most would say overpriced, for services rendered. Amtrak is not a charity.

Just found this which tells more than the first blurb I read... http://www.medialifemagazine.com/amtrak-rolling-train-magazine-national/

Anybody see the news about arrive magazine being changed to something called national? I'm wondering if all of us will be able to read and access it if not on the nec? I mean print editions. I know how to find the on line version.

The problem is the price. For what you pay, I'm beginning to question the value for money. Room wise I'm paying about $400 a night for a beat up room that needs new upholstery etc. and less than stellar food and service. What I love about train travel I'm realizing has to do with train travel...

Well, I am finally back from my trip, and I wanted to post this trip report when I could type at a computer and not on my phone. This was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime, and in a lot of ways still was. I am fortunate to travel a lot for work, and my job allows me to take the train, so...

Ha ha. Yep. Bought food in Albuquerque. Ate in Chicago. Ate in Washington, D.C. Planned the same for the return home. After about 10 trips on the chief this year, three on the capital and one on the cardinal, I'm quite over the limited dining car choices.

I've taken the chief about 10 times this year (just requalified for select executive on this trip). Twice I have had the express menu boarding in Fullerton. Last week we had a full menu. As others note, it seems to not be all the time but at their discretion. You have a good probability of...

And I agree with the poster about the quality. I've given up too. I will no longer go to the dining car. I went once this trip. Six days on a train and I partook in one meal. The quality is poor. I don't know where I've had such poor quality food. And I don't buy frozen food at the grocery...

I think one thing that strikes me is wrong is you shouldn't have to care about what crew you get. I fully agree, on the trip I am on now I've had excellent, indifferent and horrid service. It is unacceptable. I stay at Starwood hotels and always have had consistent service. Amtrak is simply...

When I get around to it, I'll post a big fiasco I encountered due to their scanning inconsistency. For now, there's already been a degradation in the lounge it seems. On my first entry, I was pleased to see they carried a selection of higher end teas and replaced the Lipton. Today: all gone...

Not for me saxman, I use the e tickets on the app.

I was in the lounge last week between 3 and 6 and had much the same experience. However, no food no snacks. As reported, we were all kicked out of upstairs at 4 pm. The lovely attendant stood on the stairs cattle calling everyone. She couldn't be bothers to go up to each person. When it was...

Here are some photos from This afternoon.

Yeah, I live in Los Angeles (lots of great restaurants) and usually eat in non chain restaurant fine dining and buy organic for home groceries so even when it doesn't make me sick, I find Amtrak food not very good. I wish they'd disclose all ingredients though. The food facts web site is half...

I agree glomor. For dinner I actually had a bag of lay's and a hot tea since the coffee is now dry in the sleepers after noon. I'm fine today. But of course I paid for it.

No not food poisoning. There is something in their food offerings. Msg perhaps, preservatives to keen the veggies fresh. Who knows. I get horrid migraines where I'm down 24 hours even with taking migraine meds. I don't appreciate at all that Amtrak food facts is a total waste of time. Read...

I'm on the southwest chief now and find the food abysmal after getting sick yet again from the dinner last night. Fortunately we were 45 minutes early into Albuquerque so I ate in a restaurant there and skipped lunch and I'm skipping dinner. I'm in a bedroom and really wish they'd decouple the...
