Acela Meal Question

[Anderson]

I'm looking at taking an Acela this weekend, and one I'm looking at is the 9:50 AM from DC. Now, normally this was a 10:00 AM departure (which would mean the meal would be lunch), but the departure is pushed back (due to trackwork, I think) so it's now before 10. Does that mean this will now be a breakfast train? Or will it likely still be lunch?

 

[OBS]

I don't think the meal service would change....

I have been on trains around that time where passengers were offered breakfast (if meals were remaining) or lunch.

I suspect it will be lunch/dinner. Other then the moved-up WAS departure, all the other boardings heading north will be after 10am and in the lunch/dinner timeframe. I doubt they would load breakfasts just for WAS passengers due to a 10 minute technicality.

The times I've taken 2160 which is normally the 10am departure from DC. I've only been offered breakfast between PHL and NYP.

Sounds like breakfast based on the times.

If this is the case, then it will be Breakfast served (same as before the time change).

And then lunch would be loaded at NYP.

Normally I board the train at PHL. And they are serving breakfast. Train is out of PHL around 1130.
