Couldn't get a real person on phone

I tried calling customer service to ask a question. Never got a real person to talk to. Gave up after trying other methods.

User's recommendation: Leave a lot of time to wait on hold if you call.

Bad service

1.6
Traveled from Jacksonville to Tampa ( Silver Star). Late leaving station....late tranferring track near Kissime to from CSX lines. Late for a mexical issue of passenger, ...late entering Tampa terminal. 2 hours 45 minutes late in total. No apology, no refund, no comp or discounts for poor service. Crazy late service is not acceptable. The mecical issue was unavaidable. That only accounted for About 45 minutes of the diaster. The 2 hours was Amtrak self afflicted bad service.

Still on HOLD

Original review posted by user Nov 09, 2021
Initially, I wanted to go online and make the changes to my reservation, but the website and the App allow you to change the date ONLY, not the time and the destination. I needed to change my outbound from NYP to ALB instead of NYP to SAR. The website and App are NOT convenient and user-friendly. I should be able to make the changes without having to call customer service. Lastly, I had to bite the bullet and call our customer service, and still, I have been on hold for 1hr and 44 minutes!!! Amtrak needs to do a better job in making the online and APP user-friendly. It will be 2 hours and I'm still on hold. Pretty depressing

User's recommendation: I cannot recommend as I am still on HOLD!

I made my return roundtrip on Res # 87ABD2, on Train 22 on Nov 2, 2021. There was a great distance from the 1 step stool they offered to where the floor of the train was. I complained that it was impossible for anyone to board from that distance. The...

Amtrak Website

2.8
Amtrak had a decent website 10 years ago. What happened? The last 2 times I've tried to book a trip the website has made it impossible to complete the process. I have had to finish the process on the telephone. The recording that one must talk to, often can't understand what is being said or doesn't wait to hear what is said in reply. The customer ends up needing a call back from a real person to get everything straight. We used to love traveling by Amtrak, but a terrible booking process makes it not worth the effort. If Amtrak were a private business, competition would not let it survive for very long.

User's recommendation: Don't waste time on the website call directly to book.

Tried several times today, October 24, to book a simple trip from San Diego to Santa Barbara. What a waste. I agree, the site is pathetic. Third World country crap

Phone Callback Service

2.2
Called - requested call back. Hour and 20 minutes later...call back, then put on hold for 25 min. Hung up. Call Amtrak again, requesting a call back. Over an hour later, call back - then put on hold again with music and apologies for unexpected wait time...again. But after 20 minutes I gave up and will try again another day. Hint: I was trying to add a person to my roomette I had booked. Can't do it online. Thanks for wasting my time and giving me more reasons to hate Amtrak.

User's recommendation: Build a competitive railroad or buy the rights out from under Amtrak and do it right. They can't.

Poor communication with automated services

Tried to reach a customer service representative for pricing and reservations...wait time was too long and Julie automated rep was not helpful.

On Sunday train 79 to Durham NC Conductor Kelly encountered an unruly passengers who did not get of the train in time they demanded she stop the train and let them off, as she proceeded to reassure the customers all is well she was then somehow able to have the couple sit and stop ranting and raving about stop this ---- train and let me the ------ of at the next stop the police where waiting and we went our merry way I do commend her cool composure and did not edge them on just let the police handle, the rest of the ride was 2hour late not due to the disruption by them.

User's recommendation: stay calm and let the conductors do their job and listen to announcements.

Speak to someone about a fraudulent purchase

Received great help from a young lady named Stephanie. Awesome customer service. She put me in touch with the D.C. Amtrak police. The Amtrak D. C. Police (Officer Robb) were just as helpful !!! I am a 76 year senior and this is the 1st time a fraud ever happened to me. Keep up the good work.
