November: https://www.amtrak.com/ccurl/1023/896/Amtrak-Monthly-Performance-Report-November-2016.pdf
Interestingly, the monthly reports for the long distance routes now break down sleeper passengers and revenue and coach/business passengers and revenue. Glad I don't have to do it myself anymore! (Hello Amtrak, it appears somebody's been paying attention to my posts ).
Hey Amtrak, since you appear to be paying attention, how about fixing the budget numbers for ridership and revenue so they don't look so ridiculous? Please? Pretty please? :help:
Also changed for FY17 are the "performance indicators" charts near the end of the documents, and starting with the November ridership and revenue chart, they completely changed the formatting on it to group the corridor routes and long distance routes by section of the country and have also included "ticket revenue per passenger". All good changes, I think, except the long distance routes are a little bit weirdly grouped, calling for example the Lake Shore Limited a "Central Route" :blink: .
I'd say October was a pretty mediocre month overall. NE Regionals were up in ridership, Acela was down (pretty significantly) in ridership, everything in the Southeast was pretty awful (due to Hurricane Matthew). There were a LOT of significant amounts of delays throughout the system in October.
November was pretty strong overall, the Southeast did significantly better than they did in October except for Auto Train, the Lincoln Service was quite a nice surprise (possibly just a bounce back from an awful FY16), and Capitol Corridor and Cascades did quite well.
There's still something amiss with some of the Chicago-based corridors, not many of them seem to be doing well on a regular basis. November was slightly better for some of them, but the Illini/Saluki for example has been a regular disappointment.
