[QUOTE]Originally posted by TBlack: [QB] Thanks Printman. Another of our members here said the following at another forum: [b]I wonder what "politico" up Boston way leaned on Amtrak to make this possible service enhancement - especially if the Sleeper and X-Country Dining service come to pass? I cannot imagine of Amtrak's own initiative inaugurating any such changes as they are clearly subordinating operational efficiency to passenger amenities. In addition to the obvious of additional switching costs at Albany, having a scarce Sleeper possibly being Bad Ordered 'way out in Left Field', requirement to stock and maintain Bed Linens at a facility at which there is presently no need, there will also be a requirement to stock additional Food items at the Boston commissary to provision the X-Country menus. Again, if there is any foundation to these observations and reports, it is a safe bet that "someone's leanin' on 'em"; the big question will be "who".[/b] I'm hesitant to attribute the quote, because I did "borrow" it from another discussion. But it does seem to capture the business issues. [/QB][/QUOTE]
