[QUOTE]Originally posted by Liberty Limited: [QB] As someone who has ridden overnight in both a Greyhound Bus and a Superliner, there is NO comparing the two. It actually creates a dangerous misperception to call an Amtrak LD Superliner coach a "Greyhound on Rails" as the two are vastly different. Sadly, for the first 33 years of my life, I HAD this misperception. As for the lack of Sleepers, while some feel that "many people" book dayrooms, I'm not quite as confident that a sleeper would break even financially. Plus, it would seem almost hypocritical... Why should it be that DEFINITE overnight trains 66 and 67 between BOS and NPN don't roster sleepers (or even A-IIs), while a long daytrain version of 11 and 14 should? This while other long daytrains (Maple Leaf, Vermonter, Carolinian, Palmetto, Adirondack) don't? The legroom in coach on a Superliner is certainly comparable to that in any BC coach, so I can't see a need for BC either, but that's just me. Adirondack runs with Amfleet I's and has no such amenities. I'd be glad to ride Superliners in coach on a day run compared to an A-I. [/QB][/QUOTE]
