(Sorry my topic heading is too long. It's the first time I started a topic. The full topic is "If the CZ is significantly late WB at Truckee, how easy is it to change to the Capital Corridor bus?")
I'm planning quick, three day trip from the Bay Area to Truckee in February with my boyfriend to see some snow and have a nice ride on the Zephyr. Last time I was on the Zephyr from Denver to Emeryville, it was about 7 hours late getting in to Emeryville, and even more so earlier this month. If this happens on the day of our return, how easy is it to change our ticket from the Zephyr (scheduled departure at 9:38 am) to the Thruway bus connectiing to the Capital Corridor in Scaramento (scheduled departure at 12:05 pm)? I see that the Truckee station is unstaffed; can I call Amtrak and change the reservation, or would they just hbusonor my ticket on the Thruway bus? I suppose that if heavy snow is the cause of the delay that the roads may not be open even so the bus wouldn't be running, but it would be good to have some options.
