[QUOTE]Originally posted by yukon11: [QB] The RPA (Rail Passengers Association) addressed their concern about "contemporary and fresh dining" during their spring meeting. From their discussion: "We understand that Amtrak is under a Congressional mandate to at least break even on food and beverage costs but serving cold meals on an overnight train service has been tried before and it resulted in lower ridership in premium services and was reflected in lower revenue,” said Rail Passengers Chairman Peter LeCody. “Even most airline passengers get a hot meal for dinner on overnight flights. Amtrak management needs to rethink their strategy." Another thing addressed: "Amtrak’s idea to reduce service on certain national network overnight trains to less than daily service by expanding shorter segments with more than one round trip daily" ******************************** Does that mean Amtrak is considering reducing some of the LD trains, such as the Builder, Zephyr, SWC, & Starlight to less than daily?
