I'll try to be as brief as possible. I am an annual Amtrak long distance (FC) trekker. I carefully plan my routes, my trains and my every expensive moment. I have a love of these trains not unlike the literary genius of Thomas Wolfe. So. I booked an "extra" on the Coast Starlight because I wanted to enjoy the Pacific Coast Parlour Car again. Both for ambiance and meals. It will be at the end of a few thousand miles on Amtrak, but I just had to "tack it on" for the PCPC. I have even booked (and paid for) my flight back to the east - at the end of the CS.
Moments ago I received an email from Amtrak telling me that The Pacific Coast Parlour car will be removed from that train in Early February. This is the only reason I booked this leg. Only! I don't need yet another bedroom trip with shared Dining Room Roulette.
Do I have any chance of Amtrak taking any kind of responsibility for this? If they had decided when I booked it (early for the best rates) that there would be no Parlour Car, I would not have booked it. Period.
