If the Coast Starlight, southbound, is running late, does the connecting bus from San Francisco still leave on schedule, to arrive at Oakland at 8:25 AM? If the train is running REALLY late, I'd rather spend several hours in San Francisco than at Amtrak's Jack London Sq station, so I'm doing some contingency planning....
Does anyone know if it's possible to temporarily (for an hour or two or ??) check bags at Amtrak's Ferry Bldg station? The idea would be to check bags, do some touristy things, then pick up the bags and take BART and the Emery Go Round to the EMY station to catch the CS southbound there. Does this sound doable?
This, BTW, is trip planning for a week from now, on Friday Feb. 1. We'll be connecting to the Sunset Ltd at LAX. Does anyone know how long they'd hold that train for late-arriving southbound CS passengers booked to connect with it?
Perhaps that last question belongs in a different thread---but this forum isn't usually shy about branching off from a post's original topic. ^_^
