I have a lounge pass available. It expires 4/18/2024.

I could definitely use one. I wasn't able to qualify for Select Plus and didn't get the bump up from Select (I was a few thousand short of the 10,000). I travel the NEC often. Thank you for offering them to the group.

Not sure if it's that "obvious." Seat cancellations and upgrades are in real time so someone could have cancelled their seat during your call.

If there aren't any available seats, then the upgrade option won't appear.

Did it say on your member card "2/2025" in the app?

Hmmmm. Did you try it? I know it says "travel by" on the terms but there were multiple reports that Amtrak was treating the coupons as "book by".

Are you not able to book your September dates with your current Companion coupons? BTW, nice of you to offer them up to the group.

Yeah, the lack of information has been ridiculous. The train has been consistently late but Amtrak won't update the schedules to reflect it. And then there's the random bussing that occurs and sometimes they cancel all stops north of New Haven.

Does anyone know when the track maintenance will be done in Vermont? For the last few months, the Vermonter has been delayed for 60 minutes plus. Wondering when the work will be completed.

Just received an email that they're letting me have another year of Select Plus. I was 2,000 TQPs short of Select Plus. Hopefully, others get this, too.

Curious, have you actually been turned down at the lounge because your ticket? The desk does look at mine but I thought it was only to check if I was actually travelling that day. Considering how empty the lounge is, they really should allow all Select Plus members in.

I'll miss Select Plus this year, as well, by only 1k-2k TQPs. I toyed with the idea of doing credit card spend to get the TQPs but ultimately decided against it. Like you, I like the unlimited access to the Moynihan lounge but I can always buy a pass if I'm traveling with family that needs to...

Did the Moynihan pricing change recently? I remember it being $35 previously.

Wow! Thank you for adding so much detail. So when the Vermonter approaches the work area, it almost comes to a complete stop until the tracks are cleared? I didn't realize the tracks north of Hartford needed that much work for so many years. I don't make it past Hartford so I always thought...

Thanks for the data. I wish Amtrak would provide some published information on these delays. I'm aware of the delays only because I use the various online apps. However, I'm sure there are passengers that rarely ride the Vermonter and are stuck waiting on the platform for an hour.

The busing, which I think occurred in May, was due to track work between Springfield and Berlin, CT. Several trains used buses. Vermonter just had a delayed schedule. I spoke with a conductor and the current delays are due to track and railroad tie replacements in Vermont (leading to speed...

Perfect, thank you. Looks like it's speed restrictions due to trackwork.

Thank you for the clarification. Do you have a link to that Facebook group? The several “Vermonter” pages I looked at were about Vermont residents or were sparsely used. Are these the same repairs that they were working on a few months ago? They were busing people from Springfield.

The Vermonter South Bound (departing St. Albans and going towards Washington, DC) has been delayed for roughly an hour every day for the past week. I'm assuming it's due to the freight strike north of New Haven. Can anyone provide more detail on how long we expect the delays to occur? Is the...

Thank you for this detailed response and your relevant anecdotes. It might be the most "engineering" type answer I've seen and I think your assessment is accurate. The app/website issue became apparent when some of my non-stop trips became connecting trips. So instead of one ticket, I now...
