Hi all,
being brits and this is our first introduction to Amtrak would appreciate any help offered. We are doing Chicago to LA (in 2 chunks - break in Albuquerque) in standard sleeper, then LA to SFO in coach. My main concerns are:
tipping: being in a non tip society are very naive - would hate to upset our cabin attendants.
Coach seats: what facilities are we allowed to use as a coach passenger.
Stations: I have heard punctuality can be dodgy at least - are the stations well catered if there is a delay.
Reading through previous comments I have noticed the prices being commented on as expensive - must say that in comparison to this side of the pond I have been pleasantly surprised with what we have been charged - once again any help, however trivial, would be appreciated.
