Why did Amtrak cut the Sunset back from Miami? Was it due to lack of ridership or because the trains couldn't be turned around in time? Is there any intention of bringing it back?
I doubt the Sunset schedule will ever revert back to its "old form" (as described in your message). If/when it goes back to Orlando, it will likely (as much as possible, anyway) go back to its most recent (pre-Katrina) schedule of an 8:45 pm arrival and 1:45 pm departure the next day. It didn't idle at Sanford (no t) for 24 hours. The overnight layover was closer to 15 hours, if on time (which it rarely was).Guest_Chris said:When the Sunset schedule reverts back to its old form (arrive Orlando around 3 and depart the next day around 7), perhaps it is a good idea to extend it back. Right now the train idles at Stanford for over 24 hours, which wastes the equipment. Plus there is no connection to Miami. However the demand might not warrant it I guess. But question is- would Amtrak do it still if the Sunset ran more on time, and would it be a good idea?
I should have also added the word "crew" to the search terms I gave above.Chatter, I did the search and couldn't find the info listed. Would you mind giving us a direct link to the info?
