The answer to your first question is that you will have to go about 1 1/2 miles or so to the intercity bus terminal. At that time of morning (TE) gets to SAS late a lot of time, you really should use a taxi. I would also suggest staying at Amtrak station until just before bus is schedules to...

GP35, I think this is great idea and spoke with member of Congress [Mr. Ortiz] about very idea. I am a little selfish , live in Corpus Christi and go to SAS to get TE for trips back east.

I was on LSL to Chi in early March this year and they held the train for 2 hours at Syracuse waking people up in coach and asking for ID. I was in sleeper and was unaware of the stop until the attendant [who was great] told about delay. My question to DHS was how many have they ever found on...

I have had a concern over this possible merger and the effect on OnePass. That moved me to transfer 35000 miles to AGR last week. Continental OnePass members will be the loser in any merger, think American-Continental, but even with United as the merger partner it will be Continental customers...

Most of the traffic at that time of morning gets off in Hartford. Lot of riders on this State of Ct supported section from New Haven to Hartford. Next train that is the connection from New Haven to Springfield connecting with Boston stub of LSL are the big mid day traffic. Usually all run...

Just finished phone conversation with OnePass Service Center and transferred 35.000 miles to AGR points. Even with problems Amtrak is a more relaxing and meaningful transportation option. :P

Opps. hit wromg button before You are unable to hear train announceements in PUB at 30th St. Location in corner of station and lots of openfood courts [noise] There is a TV screen in the Pub with trains listed as I recall. Nice place to wait for connection

I would not advise walking at that time of night. Other than on the Riverwalk, they somewhat roll up the sidewalks at dusk. The hotel is less than a mile from the station, but you don't want to chance encountering some of the strange folks who do hang around in that area. Good area for...
