Good luck finding a sleeper from either Portland or Seattle. They are booked 6 months out. In any other business, that would mean adding another few sleeper cars. But Amtrak doesn’t seem to care…
- seadan83 2y agoThere are several room options for the SEA to CHI train leaving tomorrow, Monday Oct 28th, from $600 to $1100 depending on room size. Them. Being booked six months out might be a misperception or dated, it seemed easy to find.
- wpm 2y agoAmtrak loses money on basically all of their long distance routes, and are pointlessly forced to live up to some profitability standard the highways don’t and the airlines privatize (only possible due to the government paying out of pocket for all the complicated expensive stuff). They have no incentive to add more sleepers, which would be a pain in the cock to procure, for a service that loses money. Amtrak should not be required to really care about that last part, but they are.
