Must be targeted to people in Florida and the NEC???

I got the same offer and live in the Carolinas. Maybe targeted to former A-T riders?

I live in OK with no past ties to Auto Train and received it as well.

Thanks for posting this. I am so grateful for the continued relaxed cancel policies.
Not sure I will make it to Florida with the kids this summer. Even with avoiding bars/restaurants.
We will, as a country, get back to where we'd like to be, for safe travel options. Just not convinced it will happen as soon as people would like. So....thinking summer of 2021.

Must be targeted to people in Florida and the NEC???

Most of the advertising I receive from Amtrak (nearly all of it by email) involves services thousands of miles away from my address. So far as I can tell there is no specific targeting based on proximity.

A sale on roomettes is nice, but unfortunately I live on the other side of the country.

Random question?

If the Auto Train is doing so great that there are going to be NO service reductions why are they offering a sale?

On the flip side if the rest of the network is doing so poorly that they have to discontinue services why aren’t those trains on sale to boost ridership.

I posted on the other thread this morning the numbers from the Trains News wire stating the network trains are currently producing the most revenue in the system by a large percentage.

This is all more evidence of managements disingenuous plans for the network. Numbers and actions don’t back up there plans.
