Safety
We know there is shortage of employees but we were told when we got on train. We were concerned if there was a emergency on the train that there was nobody in our car that worked for Amtrak.

Verified Reviewer New Reviewer5 hour delay from Croton Harmon to Albany
Feb 28 2022 Train 233 was supposed to leave at 12:08. Told there was a delay. No Station Rep available no information until 2:00. Then told the train wont arrive until the earliest at 4:00. I missed all of my bBoard meetings as I turned around and went home. When I called customer service to see if I could get a refund or credit I was put on hold for 2 hours and then was dropped. I will probably let Amex know not to pay them. Its a disgrace.
User's recommendation: If you can find another means of travel do so.

Just let peoples know ( not really pissed off)
Not passed off, just try to inform who plan to ride with Amtrak, Amtrak kind of like auto mechanic rip customer off, lots time when that happen they still in business, why? Cause they are plenty customers, you will be treat as sec class citizens when u ride Amtrak,if u complaints ,good chance you will get kick out of train, even your complaints is legit. Top down issue, they still have lots customers need ride with train, guess what , they will never treat peoples decent till they start have lots empty train, and unfortunately it very unlikely happen!
User's recommendation: Avoid if u can.

I booked three times online and the reservations didn’t go through, even though I got a notification saying that my trip was confirmed and that an e-ticket would be issued to my email address.
I booked online, paid for the reservation, got a notification on the website saying that my trip is confirmed and that an e-ticket would be issued shortly. I didnt receive anything and was subsequently informed by Customer Service (when I called them) that there was no reservation under my name for any trips. This happened two times.
User's recommendation: Don’t book online! Their website sucks.
