[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] This just doesn't sound right. Why would Amtrak eliminate lounge space for coach passengers (and be the only LD train to do that) but keep the high maintenance parlor cars just for sleeping passengers. Not complaining, but really! Only way this might make some sense is to use CCC cars for coach lounge (with the lounge part staffed) but expand seating (in lieu of the buffet area) in the PPC for more sleeping car passenger dining with overflow to the CCC. Perhaps the intent is, like A-T, to use the PPC for lounge for all passengers and everyone eats in the dining car. But the SSL cars are much better suited for high volume of passengers if coach passengers were included. It'll be interesting to see what really happens. One thought: Amtrak 'discovers' that the PPC needs more repairs than thought, so, gee whiz, guess the SSL will do the job. I would like to see someone other than Amtrak providing first class meals and lounge service. Then maybe we could get some consistency of service and avoid the ongoing soap opera of Amtrak amenities and on board service. But no doubt that would come with a price tag like 'meals not included'.
