[QUOTE]Originally posted by eldee: [QB] although we always travel in the sleepers, i've always preferred the seating in coach during daytime. the seats are more comfortable -- at least as compared to the roomettes -- and i really appreciate the leg-rests. that being said, the lack of shower facilities are a huge drawback, to say nothing of general cleanliness of the car; so much so that, to paraphrase the great gilbert norman, if we can't afford the sleeper, we don't go. further along those lines i have yet to experience any amtrak coach on the long-distance services we use that has clean restrooms after four hours. this is very disappointing to me, as the economy and comfort of amtrak coach is an appealing combination. i'll usually saunter back to the coaches during daylight hours and, if the attendant is present, doesn't mind, and the coach is lightly populated, will take a seat for a while and stretch out. i can certainly see long travel, especially on the refurbished superliner coaches. if amtrak could just manage to keep the coaches clean, and could find coach attendants that actually stay in the car with their charges instead of retreating to the lounge for a multi-day talkathon with other layabout employees, i would find coach travel an option. until then, no thank you. -- eldee waterbury, ct [/QB][/QUOTE]
