Are any metropolitan / club Acela lounges open?
What about the Food Court Upstairs since its Counter Service to go???Metropolitan Lounge in Chicago is open but unattended inside according to a post made by Chicago Union Station's Facebook representative. Soft Drink and Coffee machines are not available, however, the front desk attendant will acquire soft drinks upon request.

Thanks Tim, stay safe up there in Pure Michigan, they say Detroit will be one of the next " Hotspots"!They didn't address that. I can't imagine that any social distancing can be executed even at to go places because of the simple volume of business. Being that I won't be going to Union Station in Chicago in the foreseeable future, I can't answer that question first hand.

Thanks Tim, sounds like "To Go Only" with Social Distancing in Line, just like most food places all over except for the Moronic places that are still practicing to kill us all!Jim, this was just posted on CUS’s Facebook page. It doesn’t really answer your question but it’s the latest update.
“NOTICE: The Food Court located on the Mezzanine Level, is currently experiencing reduced services due to the State of Illinois Shelter In Place order. We will continue to update you as we receive information.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
Thank you so much for your patience and cooperation.
Stay safe and be well!”

I'm talking mostly about some Southern States,especially the Red Ones, that are still not getting the Message!With a Stay in Place order in effect, I'm sure there are very few of those moronic places in Illinois. In one of those orders, the authorities can shut down any business which defies it and levy heavy fines and possible jail time.

It sounds like this was a local bus passenger, which has an entirely separate part of the station that would not impact Amtrak. The platforms at Greensboro are reached by a tunnel from the station building, so if that was closed the platforms would not be assessable.Greensboro shares the Galyon Depot between Amtrak, City Transit, Intercity Bus and the local model train club. I think the article was more about the transit area but it likely closed the entire Depot on 31 March 2020. I also realize Greensboro is not considered a major station but let me dream a bit.

I took that to be the case as well with this being a city transit situation. And you are correct in that Amtrak platforms are reached via tunnel. There are steps and an elevator that takes one from near the baggage claim area of the Amtrak part to rather near the main sitting area of the transit waiting room. There is some separation from the three main areas of the depot but ultimately one can travel easily and without hindrance from one area to another.It sounds like this was a local bus passenger, which has an entirely separate part of the station that would not impact Amtrak.
