Plus they run every day. The Lake Shore now runs only three days a week. For a premium fare, one can get a private room on the Lake Shore, which might be desirable because of the pandemic, but if you're not buying a room, there's no reason to take the LSL. The dining car used to be the reason to choose the Lake Shore over the corridor trains for coach travel, as you could have a full sit-down dinner on the way west. But for the past two years the "meals" have been downgraded to TV dinner quality and presentation, and they're no longer available at all to coach passengers. The food quality now is actually better in the corridor cafe car.[/QUOTE]
