    Progress on my printable timetable generator

    That's reasonable. It would be nice to be able to generate a personal schedule with actual dates.

    Progress on my printable timetable generator

    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...

    Progress on my printable timetable generator

    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

    France bans short-haul flights

    How many trains would that cut out in the US? It would be a good reason for a bullet train from LA, SF, SAC.

    Amtrak App discussion

    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?

    Coach passengers in sleeping car rooms?

    I don't see why Amtrak has to be so strict if you wanted to escort a coach passenger to the sleeper. Maybe they just want to see what it is like. Would a sleeper passenger be able to sit next to someone in coach if there was an empty seat? I guess the only common meeting place would be the...

    California Zephyr reservations

    Amtrak recently cancelled my round trip to Chicago due to their extension of the 5 day a week schedule on the CZ. I am a little happy about it. My entire trip including train, hotel, and food for a 1 week vacation would have cost about $5000 for 1 person. I will think about it again next year if...

    CZ Trip Coming Up

    I will also be on the CZ next month and have been on it many times. This YouTube video by Jeb Brooks shows him in a bedroom and is very good.

    Timetables/Flag Stops

    The timetables, as is, may be fine for long distance trains but is useless for researching the large number of trains in the East. There is no easy way to compare train schedules to see what route is best. It does bring up a list of all ways to get between 2 cities but it would be nice to select...

    Timetables/Flag Stops

    Why hide the print option under the 9 square symbol?

    Amtrak Metropolitan Lounges

    Do the Metropolitan lounges care how much you take if you are planning to eat it on the train at a later time.

    Route Timetable PDFs returning? (2021-2022)

    Years ago I did the reverse of creating a timetable. I manually took all of the data from the current timetables and created an HTML table that was loaded from a data file. I had the ability to enter a route number and see all the stops in forward or reverse order. I also had the ability to...

    Sleeper accommodation discussion

    I have always used a sleeper on overnight trips. On my next trip I am splurging on a bedroom rather than a roomette. The superliner roomette does not have a bathroom and as you get older it becomes a problem when you have to keep getting up in the middle of the night and walking down the hall...

    Has anyone used a hot water coil on a train. Would it cause problems?

    Chicago transit help

    I have had a Ventra card for years and will use it again this April. I believe that when I first obtained it a few years ago I just paid the $20 for a 72 hour pass. It was mailed to me. They recently changed the card from a major debit card to their own. There was a big sale last year where a 72...

    Rocky Mountaineer in the Colorado Rockies

    I found a copy of the ebrochure that you can view without giving the Rocky Mountaineer website your email address. There are no prices listed. 2022 Rocky Mountaineer Brochure
