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

Rude agent at Penn Station Train announcements were made late, was not able to sit with wife on the way to Washington

User's recommendation: Address rude agents. Announce train departure at least half hour before train leaves.

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

A refund on my canceled trip

The refund request form doesn't accept International numbers so had to register the matter on the general enquires form. To date, I have contacted them three times with no response. They cancelled my trip and notified me on the 18th July, over a month ago.. My first dealings with Amtrak .. Truly woeful.
