Google Maps shows it as a drive time of 18 minutes max, even at 7:30am on a weekday, which gets you to the station at least 50 minutes before scheduled departure. You're traveling opposite to the commute., so traffic should be light. I think it's likely they would delay the train's departure...

In fairness, it's route was more comparable to the current Meteor, which makes the run in 27h 44m, and most of the 3 hour difference is to service all the Central FL stops.

I was curious about the "Recreation Car": https://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth:6108vb763

How about an APM?

Which they have done away with. The website now tells passengers to contact their "partner" Uber directly. Premium passengers are given a pretty measly $10 credit towards an Uber ride, and that's per reservation, not per person. It looks like the entire last-mile Brightline+ offering has...

Doesn't go near the station. The nearest stop is about 5 blocks away, and some of that is not very pedestrian-friendly.

I was talking to AGR this afternoon (around 1-2 pm), and asked to be transferred to Customer Relations. They picked up in about 10 minutes, and the CR agent seemed concerned and helpful.

I don't think you have true HSR in IL. The top speed is what, 110 or 115? TX HSR is planned to use Shinkansen trains, "Capable of operating at speeds in excess of 200 miles per hour." From the website: "The Texas High-Speed Train will operate on secure, separate, closed tracks dedicated fully...

It is possible to generate schedules by date in PDF format on the Amtrak website on a computer. Searching by route name creates a schedule that shows only arrival times, and also lists all Thruway connections (one per page.) Alternatively, searching by origin and destination cities, and then...

Interesting that a good chunk of that is to improve the border crossing process.

https://railforless.us/ Roomettes in August from Newark to NOL are between $500 and $600, not $1100. Perhaps you looked at a date when all Roomettes are sold out, so you were presented with the fare for a Bedroom.

That train left the station long ago.

Yes, but it has 2 full-width Roomette windows next to it. The H-room window is alone on that side of the door.
