We'll be taking the LSL next month from NYP to CHI in a roomette. My previous trips on this route have been on the CL via Washington so we were in Superliner sleepers.
I have two questions about this trip:
- There's been discussion on this board about the positioning of Viewliner sleepers. I'm less concerned with front or back of the train and more with side of the train. Obviously, I'd prefer that we were on the left-hand side so we'd be on the river side from New York to Albany. There was a thread about this, but it focused on CHI-NYP travel. Recognizing that there are no guarantees here, since Viewliner sleepers usually face in the same direction, are we more likely to be on the river side in an even numbered roomette or in an odd numbered roomette?
- We've never been in a Viewliner roomette before. It's clear that one person should leave the compartment when the other is using the bathroom. Are there alternative bathrooms in the lounge that would be usable? I assume there must be in the coaches. Do roomette passengers frequently use these?
Thanks!
