Off. Amtrak Website not User Friendly

[zepherdude]

I'm pretty sure I'm kinda stupid sometimes, but Amtrak's site is pretty straightforward to me.
Am I a secret genius?

Yeh, secret! I won't tell!

But seriously, No problem here either. If the parameters are wrong to start with, it will muck up the system, like Las Vegas or Armadillo. Sometimes there are service issues, Amtrak does not service all cities and if one knows the cities Amtrak serves, it should be pretty straight forward. I have used the multi-city segments portion once and that worked well.

I am new to Amtrak and have just scheduled a trip and researched other possible trips on their website. I think that the site is easy to use, at least for what I was doing. I had to modify my trip and found that to be easily done.

Try removing 99% of the flights from a major airline's schedule and see how many trips come up as "unavailable" for ticketing. It's not the website that's the issue; it's the skeleton schedule that's the problem.

Armadillo? Man, that would muck up the system! :giggle:

I'm guessing the current Amtrak site is the "improved" one? It's still not particularly user-friendly, but it's not terrible.

PEBCAK.

Heh...yeah...

It was 2004. It probably ran on Angelfire or Geocities.

I thought I had repressed those memories...

Everyone had their fun with this old thread. It is now closed again - hopefully for good!
