[QUOTE]Originally posted by yukon11: [QB] I agree, Mr. Palmland, that a more efficient Amtrak is desirable and necessary. I don't have a problem with Amtrak seeking to cut costs. However, draconian cuts in food quality and dining car availability, I think, are very much counter-productive. I have a short list of pet peeves. [One of which is guys who wear $700 Brooks Brothers sport coats over Levi's jeans]. But back to the point. My Amtrak pet peeve is their unwillingness to test market new concepts, ideas, and services. Why couldn't they reinstate the Pacific Parlor Car by means of a surcharge to the cost of a sleeper? Why not greatly up the cost of a meal, in a dining car, as long as the quality of the food is, at least, of "Dennys" standards? Why not test market these ideas, say on just one Amtrak LD train, over the summer months. If it doesn't pan out, well, it doesn't pan out. Richard [/QB][/QUOTE]
