[QUOTE]Originally posted by yukon11: [QB] Washington Post article: https://is.gd/77NuE7 Some quotes: "Some people really like [the dining car] and view it as sort of a nostalgic train experience,” Wilander said. “Some people, especially our new millennial customers, don’t like it so much. They want more privacy, they don’t want to feel uncomfortable sitting next to people” they don’t know." Amen to that one. "Passengers in roomettes and bedrooms, considered premium riders, will have the choice to have meals delivered to their rooms. If desired, they will be able to use a new version of a dining car, open exclusively to them, with booths, but no white linens. Eventually, Amtrak said, it may get rid of the booths altogether and create a more contemporary lounge setting." A lounge setting would be better. "So, as it expands the new dining concept, there will be five prepackaged hot meal choices and no boxes. Eventually, Wilander said, riders will be able to pick their meal online, ahead of their trip." A good idea. If you can choose a meal, on line, before the trip why can't they prepare high quality meals, well ahead of time, and place the meals under refrigeration. Then microwave before serving. " Have different price ranges as per any good restaurant. Maybe not lobster thermidor or a Kobe filet, but something at least Dennys plus quality. Richard [/QB][/QUOTE]
