    Amtrak Dining on Coast Starlight in July 2021?

    Thanks. Hopefully we will be in Santa Barbara in time for dinner with my daughter. Over two years since I've seen her. If the train is very late we can dine on the train.

    Amtrak Dining on Coast Starlight in July 2021?

    We had to cancel our trip from Minneapolis to San Francisco due to the possibility of no through train service between Portland and San Fran. However we still intend to take the Coast Starlight from San Fran to Santa Barbara in mid Sept. Hoping the dining car will be back on this service by then.

    Coast Starlight sleeper status during bus bridge

    Thank you. Have no idea when or if we can get back as we live in the UK. But who knows 😎👍

    Coast Starlight sleeper status during bus bridge

    Well we just cancelled our trip. It was just too close to our travel date for comfort. Sad because we don't know if we'll have the opportunity again. Thanks to everybody here for the help and advice, especially where Amtrak didn't bother even letting us know there might be a problem. Happy...

    Coast Starlight sleeper status during bus bridge

    Many thanks!! Our travel dates are Sept 7-10 (changing to Coast Starlight on the 9th and arriving SF on the 10th). I completely agree that there is much more reliable info on everything Amtrak here. Definitely Skype is cheaper than regular long distance calls....but then there's still the...

    Coast Starlight sleeper status during bus bridge

    We are scheduled to board Coast Starlight in Portland and go through to Emeryville in early Sept. We have a bedroom. Haven't heard anything from Amtrak and can't get through to them on the phone (calling from the UK so this is very expensive!!)

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    Yes, I plan to do that but not too much room in luggage or much opportunity to food shop in Minneapolis. Nuts and crackers probably are easy to pack.

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    WOW!!! I'm overwhelmed by such lovely and helpful replies!! I would be really psyched if the dining car did reappear by Sept. But I wonder if it really ever will? I would guess Amtrak are cutting costs (labour, mainly) like most other orgs. I'd love to be pleasantly surprised. Too bad the...

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    Forgot to mention we're not travelling until September. Thank you so very much for the excellent suggestions. I'll have to look into Kosher meals. I don't think garlic is excluded from Kosher generally but I will certainly find out. Probably will need to check out the club car rather than...

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    I just discovered that all the flex meal dinners (included in our fare for a three day trip) have garlic. I have a severe garlic intolerance. If I have even a little it makes me very sick. We will not be boarding the train from home (flying in from the UK) so can't go grocery shopping prior...
