@Amtrak This doesn’t work. I have been trying for over an hour. I only have an hour and 30 minutes left of purchase and still won’t get this to work. You need to fix your website and apps.

@PacSurfliners So was there no service prior to yesterday all the way to San Diego? I have a trip booked for Nov 10 and haven’t received any motivations of any changes. In fact metrolink is the company that sent an email today notifying me of the issue. Amtrak should be proactive

This is so goofy but maybe I'll actually get some help - @Amtrak, I've been trying to book a ticket all day and every time I get an "unknown error". Customer service has been no help. I see this is not just a me issue based off of Twitter. Any idea when I'll be able to book?

On @Amtrak's Capital Corridor (Bay Area - Sacramento), which is always a favourite time to think about rail travel. Ridership was down 80% in 2021 vs 2019. The 1.8m trips in 2019 is an avg 4,932/day. I'm curios how that compares to total Bay Area-Sacramento road trips? & flights? https://t.co/UWzUCSkOg3

@AbhishBanerj @tapasgiri93 I worked for the next generation Amtrak! American standards about the crash are very stringent! So the structure becomes heavy! They are Aesthetically not good & energy consumption is also high!
Amtrak trains are not as advanced as TGV, ICE & Eurostar!

@HeadwaysMatter Why is it (at least at the "Moynihan Train Hall"/Penn Station) that Amtrak doesn't tell you which train will be leaving from which platform until about 5 minutes before it leaves? I suspect they just like seeing people trying to run down the stairs with heavy suitcases.

Last time I checked, taking the Amtrak between Austin and San Antonio was ~$150 and taking any train from Austin to any stop outside the state was a minimum of ~$300.
No one outside the Acela corridor is going to take a train until these prices come way, way down.

Do plans involve eminent domaining all neighborhoods by the beach and recycling them into the sea for a nice reef/breakwater?
The Amtrak rail erosion is caused by water runoff from hard surfaces in the beachside developments. Until that problem is eliminated this will continue
