[QUOTE]Originally posted by HillsideStation: [QB] Recommend Amtrak to a friend? Of course. However, with some caveats. NEC: Acela, First Class ONLY. Usually on time and the in car service is usually "good". East: The Silver Meteor, sleeper only. I have taken it the last two years for our annual GeezerFest in SRA. For me it is an integral part of enjoying the event. I suggest roomettes to singles and bedrooms to couples. On my trips the trains have been very close to on time by trips end, north or southbound. The in car services have been "fair". LD: Again, sleepers only. Roomette for singles, bedrooms for couples. On time performance varies by route. I try to steer folks away from the LSL, Cardinal and SL. On both the on time perfomance and on train services. All of which on our numerous trips have varied between terrible and completely unacceptable. The only equivocation is to measure the sights available on the Cardinal against the paucity of service and complete lack of any thought of arriving on time. The Cresent on board services have been fair to good. On time perfomrance: acceptable. The CZ: The fair on train service coupled with the crap shoot on on time performance are in my opinion well worth the trade off for the scenery DEN/SAC. The SWC: The best direct way to get from LA to Chicago. On board services generally rate fair and we've yet to miss an EB connex. The CS: The train I love to hate. On board service can be absolutely fabulous one trip and absolutely absent the next. Same for on time performance. The EB: Probably the most constant service wise,if you don't count last years midwest flooding. The on board service is usually good to very good. The on time performance has been for us, "good". We ALWAYS tell our friends the perceptions are from OUR expeience and may have no relation to what they experience. That we enjoy LD traveling by train is evident from the fact we've done so in four of the last five years and will again this Autumn. Additionally as noted above I've traveled solo BOS/SRA twice in the last two years. So the answer is a definate YES...but with caveats...'cause we'd like to stay friends. Best regards, Rodger...and the bride of 45 years. [/QB][/QUOTE]
