I've had occasion to take the NE regional train twice in the last year. On both occasions the trip went well and arrived on time. However what really gets me are the rude passengers that take all of the cafe car tables for the entire trip. if you go there you see a crowd of discourteous and rude individuals sitting there, not even eating or drinking and clogging up all the seats for the entire trips. If you walk down to get a cup of coffee you can't even sit there as the seat hogs take them the entire trip. I know that this rude disregard for other passengers would not be allowed on overnight runs but on the corridor runs, no disipline or rule is exercised. Its about time that Amtrak rules that dining and cafe car users can only tie up the tables while eating or drinking. Granted if someone stays a few minutes beyond that so what, but everyone should be able to take advantage of the seating not just the greedy and rude hogs.
