That’s technically still Amtrak policy, per the service standards manual.

Some trains (like the starlight and susnet) haven’t regularly run with a trans-dorm in recent years…

Haven't seen you post in a while! After having taken the Canadian this past December, I can see where you are coming from. If you travel during the off-season, room prices are reasonable. On top of that, berth prices are very reasonable. With the current conversion rate and sale, I found some...

It’s getting upgraded.

This would be correct. 2 points per dollar from FNBO, then 4 more points per dollar from AGR. So a total of 6 points per dollar. Keep in mind the FNBO points hit when your statement arrive vs the Amtrak points will hit when you travel (and in order to get the 4x points per dollar you need to...

Works for me on the app.

Trains 504 and 505 have crossed the bridge with little delay, using the other track.

I’m guessing it was more for passengers who got on before Sacramento. I noticed 11 made a long stop there. Part of that might have been to transfer connecting passengers to take the inland round to meet up with #2. Passengers from SLO onwards could have been accommodated by the Surfliner. Of...

Probably connections from 11 (25).

However they do not post alerts about every train anymore. 'Minor' delays will only be found using the train status page.

Yes, the difference can be paid with cash. Not so sure about points

I refer you to a prior string of posts in this forum. https://www.amtraktrains.com/threads/texas-eagle-discussion.84791/post-1038493

Yeah I’m not in many of the Facebook groups but from what I have seen many aren’t thinking big picture.

Another interesting observation - after this September date I discovered that (on the Cap) only a max of 4 bedrooms can be booked on each train. As we know, a viewliner car only has 2 bedrooms per car while a superliner has 5. A max of 4 bedrooms and no family bedrooms would imply that they are...

It’s like this for many dates. The star (both directions) seems to be marked as sold out between NYP and WAS every day in the fall months. From WAS to MIA accommodations are available, though. [also just now catching up on this thread. I see this information might have already been mentioned...

Yeah the Vancouver station has weird hours. Closes right before the EB is due to arrive.

Yes, they can be combined. The voucher is considered a payment method, not a coupon. (Thus the ‘cannot be combined with another coupon’ rule does not apply here).

I see an alert on the Amtrak app, if you know where to look for it. Platform closed due to storm damage.

Also note that the Coast Starlight has the sleepers at the back due to no transdorm.

Looks like there have also been recent fare bucket price increases on the Silver Star/Meteor and Lakeshore Limited (and possibly other routes as well, but I haven't checked). Might want to update those before you publish the next chart.
