Website Sucks

12/11/17 - I went in to make reservations for a round trip from Washington DC to NYC, and back. I messed with it for 20 minutes and couldn't get a return ticket. It used to be easy. No wonder these *** are losing money. I'll fly or drive. *** them. Why do I...

it's 2022 and it's still horrible! It is just sitting there waiting, i guess, for me to enter a return date, even though I selected the "One Way" option from their choice area. It is literally doing nothing to help me see if there are any train trip options going from one place to another

I tried most of today from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM to purchase 2 tickets. After I typed in all my information, the website would not make the purchase. This happened several times throughout the day. I finally had to use a customer service rep to make my ticket purchase,...

Amtrak was extremely late reaching my destinations. A total of 4.5 hours late!

Original review updated by user Sep 24, 2022
My train was scheduled for 8:20 am Cary to Philly arrive 5:35pm, my arrival was 7pm. My return to Cary was scheduled 12:36 pm and arrival 9.22 pm. I arrived at my destination after midnight. Train was slow as molasses, they made no announcements, we stood there between stations for approx 40 minutes with no power, no air, no ventilation. The bathrooms were not all working and some were very nasty. My trip to Philly was over 10 hours without internet access. Some of the staff were short with me as well when I asked why we were taking so long.

User's recommendation: Avoid Amtrak!

Air condition went out on the handicap care about two hours into our trip.

Very crowded with handicap oversized equipment stinky bodies dirty restrooms no room for my luggage poor experience for my two grandsons first train trips d going to Longview Texas. Staff says call customer relations. I have had a hard time trying to make contact and I am still on hold as I write. Coughing man without a mask. Grandsons had to smell corn feet women that took their shoes and socks off. This is not what I wanted for my grandsons and I request an a commendation for this poor service that was paid for in advance. Thank you Zevernett Holloway, grandmother
