    Caledonia Sleeper Service

    Attention all ScotRail experts: I booked a journey from London Euston to Aberdeen for November 1, 2016. I paid for the single first class accommodation and prepaid 10 GPB for the evening meal. I ended paying the full tariff because the option for the BritRail Pass wasn't available, so I know I...

    Texas Eagle Delays

    Hi Everybody, I have an upcoming trip (tomorrow) from KCY to SAS and noticed that trains 21 and 22 are still losing time. Amtrak has let the detour notice expire, so those trains should be following its customary route and time tables. Can anybody tell me why the poor time keeping?

    New Year's 2016 Trip to NYC

    I really have my boxer shorts in a twist. :angry: I just did a dummy reservation for December 29, 2015, from KCY to NYP, selecting #4 and #48, roomette all the way. I do have a disability, so I can save 15% on the rail fare, but the roomette from KCY to CHI is $313 dollars (normally its hover...

    Mrs. Ghost and I are traveling from Kansas City to Chicago and return at the end of September. Many months ago she wanted to share this experience with our son, so I added him to the reservation along with another roomette. Now he says he cannot go...period. I do not want to cancel the...

    Chicago LSL Boarding Time For Sleeper Class

    When I made the reservation, the telephone agent said something about boarding around 8pm for the wine and cheese reception, however, since the wine and cheese reception is defunct, what is the new boarding time? My guess would be around 9pm, but I thought I would ask so I can plan activities...

    Birthday Trip to Chicago and Return

     My trip on the #3 Southwest Chief started at KCY and the beautiful Union Station. The train was on time and my day started with a special birthday Railroad French Toast (the LSA put a candle in it) with everyone in the diner singing happy birthday. So very nice! The ride was excellent as...

    CTA Ventra

    Going to Chicago this Friday and need a 3-day CTA pass. My understanding is they switched to ventra. Does ventra come in a 3 day pass? How does this new system work and what are the best options? I don't need a long term card, just going to be there for 3 days. :help:

    Checked Baggage Transfer at Galesburg (GBB)

    I am thinking about checking my excess baggage in Emeryville, CA, through to Kansas City, Mo. That means a transfer at Galesburg, IL. Has anyone done this? If so, did it go smooth as usual or is this station too understaffed to effectively do it? I do know it is a new service for this station...
