[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Mesdames Dee, Sojourner, and Vicki; I think this could be a new property of demand pricing that Amtrak is trying out. For someone who absolutely positively must go on an exact given date and is willing to book far enough in advance to ensure such be the case, demand pricing apparently will 'make 'em pay". I checked Roomette prices today for school reunion in South Kent CT during early June. That trip would be Lake Shore Chi to Albany, thence auto rental to School (sorry, the New Haven RR's 'The Berkshire' no longer runs) and return. The rate offered seemed quite palatable and in fact it may have even been less than the (historical fare) $748 I paid for same trip during 2001. While I'm not sure if I will use Amtrak as there is still the reliability factor to consider - a four hour late train could make for "problems' making Class Dinner on time. There is also possibility of en route stops that would make auto the only reasonable and practical means. However, my reason to use transport other than Amtrak will hardly be 'it costs too much' (auto is no bargain nowadays). So take heart, Ladies, you all have computers and can access the website to heart's content. Somehow, I think that Accomodation Charge will come down to a level you are prepared to accept.
