    Superliner III

    Yeah, its rubbish isn't it? I think its probably time to quit this forum while I am ahead, no point in it descending into a shouting match every time GML opens his mouth. It's just not fun for everyone else. Catch you later people.

    Superliner III

    It's not a ridiculous statement, it's based on practical experience as opposed to keyboard ****. Simple stuff that works on a moving rail vehicle as opposed to GML fantasy world. The system on the UK sleepers works very well and allows you to have separate berths at varying temperatures. Your...

    Superliner III

    In a sleeper vehicle it is quite hard to achieve. Think about it, you might want your room boiling hot, I might want mine freezing cold. The way the sleepers in the UK get round it is to run the AC in 'cool' mode nearly all the time (with the addition of an internal heater bank in really cold...

    Transitional Dorm

    I did realise that at the time, but had forgotten by now! You can see the higher level gangway in this shot taken the next day. http://50031.fotopic.net/p56933647.html

    QuikTrak Ticket Pickup Options

    I thought it needed the card you booked with to activate it, but looking at the online demo http://www.amtrak.com/media/quiktrak/Quiktrak.htm you can use any card to activate it and then it lets you enter the reservation number.

    Transitional Dorm

    It's a Superliner sleeper with a low level gangway connection at one end which connect to the baggage car gangway (which obviously is a single level vehicle) It has crew quarters downstairs and roomettes upstairs. Some shots of one on the CS last year...

    Amtrak Capitol Limited Consist

    Someone paying up to $1300 for a bedroom should receive more service than someone paying $100 coach fare. Goes without saying really. But they should both be treated well. Then again, anyone paying $1300 for a bedroom should receive free counselling as well.......

    Booking Amtrak tickets online from the U.K.

    To get the inclusive bus link from SF to Emeryville, you can book from the Ferry Terminal in SF, which does have a ticket office and ticket machines. You can't book the bus separately without a train ticket.

    Niles Canyon Railway.

    How easy is it to get to this from the Bart station at Fremont? Any buses? Taxi? Fair chance of getting murdered by the locals as soon as you step out on the street? :ph34r:
