We're taking our first overnight Amtrak from Boston to Chicago on 11-12 April. We just got the advisory about the train starting at Albany NY.
"Train 449 will not operate between Boston (South Station) and Albany on the dates above. Passengers boarding at Boston (South Station), Worcester, Springfield and Pittsfield will be provided bus service to Albany. Passengers at Boston South Station should go to the Amtrak Information Desk for instructions on boarding the buses. There will be no Business Class or sleeping car during this time."
We're a bit disappointed but are happy to take the bus. Our questions are:
a) we have 2 large bags, will they be OK on the bus?
b) will we still be able to check them in at Albany? They won't fit in our roomette!
c) they say "no sleeping car" but I assume they just mean on the bus - there'll still be roomettes from Albany to Chicago?
I know they did more of this trackwork back in 2018, anyone got any helpful tips? Thanks from a Brit!
