I’m on 97 right now and while the crew is nice, I noticed that they had 3 tables “reserved” in the diner. One for the “LSA”, one for “Pick up” and one for condiments. I think reserving 3 out of 11 tables is a bit much as it was crowded for breakfast.

That interesting. My SCA on the Meteor a few days ago who took my order gave me the option at lunch and then asked me later at dinner if I had my drink at lunch. I guess it depends on the crew.

You can take it for lunch instead, but it’s one per day.

I was just on the Meteor two days ago. I had a choice between the brownie and butter cake. For lunch I ordered the brownie but for dinner I ordered the butter cake to try that. Both times I got brownies. I will try again on my return trip tomorrow.

I’m on the meteor right now. They run a mix of cars, this one has a V1 sandwiched between two V2’s, with 9811 being the V1. Good luck.

I have to make a quick trip on the silver meteor next week from Florida to Maryland and back. I’m traveling coach because I’m traveling alone. I have been reading about flex dining service. As a coach passenger will I be allowed to buy a meal or am I stuck with cafe food? What else can I expect...

They just canceled todays l AutoTrain.

UPDATE: Auto Train 53 which departed Lorton (LOR) on 5/5 is currently operating approximately 20hrs late into Sanford (SFA).

I might have to run to Florida in early to mid July. I usually take the auto train but since I might have to travel solo I am thinking of the Slivers to save a few bucks, so this is good information to know. I read the both the slivers have their menus back. Did any of them receive the new...

It’s not so far fetched.

Just saw this from Amtrak. “Silver Meteor Train 97 which will departed New York (NYP) on 3/29 will terminate in Jacksonville (JAX). No alternate transportation will be provided.” Wondering if they are planning to quarantine people from NY at Jacksonville?

Good luck on your bids! Can’t wait to find out what happened.

Within the story is a hint why the bathrooms with be practically destroyed in a short while. The people whom they interviewed about the bathrooms were both non Amtrak passengers. A private bus cleaner and a Long Island Railroad commuter, whom has the LIRR bathrooms to use but chooses to uses the...

I have taken the AT round trip dozens of times over the years. I can tell you that there is no round trip discount. I have have always looked the the prices individually on amsnag and booked round trip. The prices are the same regardless. In regard to the original post, I just tried to book my...

FYI, I was able to use my upgrade coupons, so it’s first class for me!

I’m going from NYP to Baltimore and back. Only 5 hours total.

I thought the same thing so I called AGR and the agent said that paying the fare with a discount doesn’t apply and it’s only meant for the actual upgrade itself. I can’t upgrade until 12 hours before departure. Hope that’s true, I will find out soon enough.

Thanks for the menu. I just noticed I had enough AGR points that I used for 4 upgrade coupons. We should be now traveling first class both ways.

This weekend my wife and I have to run down to Baltimore for a family function. Since we have pet issues we have to do the trip same day. Instead of driving we decided to try the Acela for the first time. I booked business class because of the NARP (RPA) discount but was not sure if first class...

Thanks! Have not received any yet today. To answer an earlier question I last used it around 18 months ago for an Autotrain trip for last May. Funny thing is it never let me know about any price drops (which there were) don’t know the version, what ever was on the website at the time. Quick...
