I will be spending 3 weeks in the US in August/September and I would like to take the train from DC to SF. I have already done some research on the Amtrak website and on the internet but it seems like it is obligatory to always buy the whole room when booking a sleeper as opposed to coach class. I will be travelling by myself which means that it would be very expensive plus I would have a spare bed in the room, wasting that space.
Do you know any solution to this problem? Are there forums where people who have similar itinieraries can share a room? In Europe this is totally normal and I've done it in many countries, I don't mind sharing a room with a stranger.
Alternatively, has anyone done the coast-to-coast in the coach class and would you recommend it?? If I understand correctly, the showers are only accessible to people who have a ticket for a sleeper so that would mean almost 4 days without a shower I suppose? Are there any possibilities to lie down somewhere and stretch once in a while (even if it's on the floor) if you're tired of sitting?
Thanks a lot for your help!
