LOL, the reissue of the receipt and ticket was back on February 29. Well today, a month later, I received an email from Amtrak explaining all about the new seating configuration, telling me my seat remains the same, but that the direction the seat faces may have changed and that I'd shortly be...

Alright. This is new for me. Last week I bought a business class ticket for a future journey. Well, I just received an updated receipt and new ticket but, nothing about the trip has changed -- same train, same departure & arrival, same day, same seat. The seat map has updated to the new layout...

Is there a place to view a decent seat map for the soon to be new seat configuration?

Ah, duh, so its NER 96 at 8:52.

I'm curious, does anyone know why NER174 was canceled today? I looked around on-line but did not find an answer. I was a little surprised that there was not a soul at the station when I walked through there this morning.

The Williamsburg station, is tucked in with the city administration building and firestation. It was built by C&O and John D Rockefeller buring the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg. In 2000 CW sold it to the city and it was restored. So it's owned by the city, tracks are owned by CSX and...

Exactly. I just cannot see getting wound up over hypotheticals for a service in developedment, being tested, and not fully rolled out.

Well only speaking for myself, with a disability, I don't see the issue. As described it is the planned fee for the service charged to everyone equally.

On a previous cafe service thread I wrote this -- Well well well... Look what's getting reported this morning -- Amtrak is testing in-seat delivery, online ordering from the cafe car

Nothing exciting, just the year that the Williamsburg, Virginia Amtrak station was built.

Coming back to this thread all these months later. Sitting on NER 174 and seat 1A in business class is perfect. There's enough space in the other business class seat that I'd have plenty of room if I selected those. And walked up to coach seats and there's enough room that it would be tolerable.
