The Amtrak timetable is also bad then. I would logically look down the column of days based on starting day. The way it is currently done is only good for someone trying to see what days they can leave from a specific station. It is not good for someone continuing a trip. We should be improving...
The days are a little confusing. You always show the days in sequence. Chicago leaves on a Tuesday, Omaha Wednesday, Salt Lake City then goes to Monday instead of Thurs
I have cancelled a trip and have even received a refund. In my browser Amtrak shows the trip as cancelled but in the iPhone app it is still there. Why?
