[QUOTE]Originally posted by DonNadeau: [QB] @ ColdRain&Snow - Many rail services in the world, e.g., Northern Ireland Railways, have trolleys that go down the aisles of each coach. Hopefully, Amtrak will be creative enough to add something like that. @ Mr. Norman - (I always call you Mr. Norman because you call me Mr. Nadeau, but after this long perhaps we should be Don and Gil--your call.) Every business, government service, and quasi government service like Amtrak must prioritize its resources in order to reach its full potential with what it has. The Starlight travels one night and two full days through wonderful scenery. The City of New Orleans travels one night and a partial day via mostly farmland. Surely, we don't need to sacrifice the enjoyment of all passengers on the Starlight in order to "standardize" consists. That reminds me of a Costco I visited in the Valley of Sun that had no sunscreen. I was told Kirkland [headquarters] doesn't send us any in winter. Standardization! I wonder if it thinks every region of the U.S. has the same tastes and needs? In my experience, the Starlight gets a lot of tour groups in coach. Try to sell these easily a diminished experience. Again, we come to the issue of properly prioritizing resources. [/QB][/QUOTE]
