The renegade gentleman is annoyed by everything😂😂😂😂😂

Of all this.... The "smell" thing stands out and And it's absolutely wrong.And should be compensated big time. Always rattles, Stuff things in. The "time" thing is Always a big thing/topic. Always behind/ always trying to make up time so the Stops...Vary/ Is constantly changing plan. And again... Always go with the roommette. Sleeping parallel to the tracks much better, And I think they keep on cleaner/ Easier To keep clean. Just My 2 cents...

Lol. Actually kind of funny. Dude, Just stay home With your silk sheets. Lol. Many get the things your pointing out... But it's great to see all the negatives or opinionated negatives to be ready For all things. And forget the bedrooms it's all about the roommates. The trains not for everybody obviously. Thanks.

Amtrak leaves a lot to be desired. Definitely they need to update. All of the Union Stations are the same, unorganized and the trains are old and dirty. I appreciate your review because I was considering taking my mother on this for her birthday as she wants to do a train trip on the California Zephyr. I hope Amtrak update soon!!! 😊

has being in the observation car been a problem for people to have limited time

Someone getting high on there that's why 😆

We tried a bedroom one way and a roommette on our return. Definitely prefer the roommette. If you have them make up the lower bed, you can sit with your feet up and watch the scenery go by in comfort. The lower bed in the bedroom takes up too much room and doesn’t afford the same view.

ive taken amtrak from sac to fresno and santa clara to sac.

i love truckee!!!!!!!!

been on amtrak 3 times in the bedroom never have been any smells and never had been able to hear people talking to the room next to me the only thing close to what you said was one little rattle by the shower door that i fixed by putting a little cloth in between the door and the shower. also the horn is such a regular thing if you get any room on amtrak youre always going to hear it and honestly most people find it calming and so do i its not even that loud its kind of like just a background sound

COST!!! 2k for chicago to cali, way too much.

tell them about the smell!!!

Your summary was very candid and honest! #1 Passenger service that is held up by freight, which always has priority, is RIDICULOUS! Corporate service over people service. #2 Infrastructure of the train system is abysmal. It is only for freight. #3 Pasenger train maintenance is very poor. #4 Passenger level personnel, despite all the difficulties, seem to be doing a good job. #5 The scenery west of Denver is EXCELLENT! It makes up for all the other failings.

Take a Spray bottle of water, Dr. Bronner Rose scented soap, and Downy Fabric softner Mixture with 91% rubbing alcohol, Wipe your room down of all surfaces and your room will smell like your in the Rose parade - no more Foul Sewage smells.

I cannot stand filth AND sewage smells!

Nice . 👍 😅

This is America!!! We’re lucky we still have trains!,, You complain about EVERYTHING!! Funding by government is minimum. The trip is about the journey and not getting there. Traveled on Amtrak for decades. Good experiences and bad. Had worse experiences on flights. I think you aren’t going to enjoy anything in the US. The brief stops are not to explore the towns but to stretch your legs. Also, trains do not go on wrong tracks. Most likely had to go into siding to wait for freights and then back up.

Was thinking about taking Amtrak back east and now Will just fly. Maintenance lacking appears to be issues?

Lots of complaining. It's the scenery man. .

Huh? How on Earth can a train end up on the wrong route and no one realizes it for half an hour??? There must be more to it than that...

Been all over the country on Amtrak and I never smelled anything bad.

Amtrak is only about taking your money if there is a problem during your trip most likely it will not be corrected. If the sewage system is not working properly then this train should not be in revenue service. You should ask for some of your money back. The constant smell of poop for three days would ruin this trip for me. Once the microorganisms lay inside your nose no matter where you go on the train it will smell like sheeet!

The good... your bedroom seat was in the facing forward in the direction of travel position. BTW... PREMIUM FARE! The other half of them are opposite. The bad... you were on the south side of the direction of travel which means you get the sun's glare. The ugly... plumbing on the superliners no longer works although sometimes it does for a few short hours until they can get a quick fix. That stale french toast you experienced is on all routes as Amtrak is attempting to cut food services on its new 'reimagined dining' initiative' after covid. It is precooked then reheated. But most importantly... the rustic smell in the superliners due to plumbing issues which is something all Amtrak enthusiasts are accepting because the fleet is antiquated and there is no funding for fleet maintenance. Plumbing issues are are consistent and the staff are doing all they can to make the pax more comfortable.

TOOK THAT SAME TRIP SAME TRAIN IN SEPT OF 24 AND IT STILL SMELLED LIKE SEWER. OTHER THAN THE BAD SMELLS IT WAS FANTASTIC. NICE PEOPLE, GOOD FOOD, GREAT EMPLOYEES.

THE CALIFORNIA ZEPHYR IS ONE OF THE MOST SCENIC TRAINS IN THE AMTRAK STABLE, YET THE LACK INTELLIGENT MANAGEMENT TO EVEN MAKE A PENNY IN PROFIT SINCE THEY STARTED IN MAY OF 1971, MANAGEMENT IS NOT SMART ENOUGH TO TAKE ON THE ULTRA STRONG UNIONS AND THEY LACK MARKETING PEOPLE, AS MOST ALL OF THEIR AMTRAK ARRANGED TRIPS ARE GROSSLY OVER-PRICED. TRY VIA RAILS TRAINS, CALLED THE CANADIAN FROM TORONTO TO VANCOUVER, THIS IS THE CLASS OF THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE'S TRSIN SYSTEM FOR A FAIR AMOUNT. THE ROCKY MOUNTAINEER IS THE FANCIEST TRAIN TRIP IN NORTHAMERICAN, BUT ALSO GROSSLY OVER-PRICED FOR THE PRODUCT SOLD, AS IT IS A PRIVATE COMPANY. VIA RAIL IS THE BEST FOR THE MONEY. 4 DAYS ACROSS CANADA. WITH AWESOME SCENERY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE OLD VISTADOME CAME. EXCEPTIONAL FOOD AND SNACKS IF IN FIRST CLASS. DEFINITELY WORTH THE TRIP AND THE MONEY I HAVE TAKEN ALL BUT TWO AMTRAK TRAINS. THE CRESCENT FROM NEW ORLEANS TO NEW YORK CITY AND THE TRAIN THAT NO LONGER IS IN SERVICE FROM MIAMI, FLA TO LOS ANGELES. THE ROADBED WAS DESTROYED BY WEATHER AND NEVER RETURNED TO SERVICE. ENJOY

Yeah man, the only long distance Amtrak I have taken is the Coast Starlight, and that one is amazing! From San Diego to Seattle, 36 hours. Actually, what I would really recommend for that one is to fly to San Diego, then take the Pacific Surfliner from San Diego to Los Angeles, because that one hugs the coastline! Amazing views.....and then, on the Coast Starlight, between Oxnard and San Luis Obispo, which is another three hours, you get more amazing views of the coast! Then after that, it's forest all the way to Seattle. Southern California is a desert -- what's where we have our massive solar farms, which generate up to 18 GW and give us 60-90% solar power when the sun is up (300 days of sunshine a year in California) -- but Northern California, where I live, is a big forest. Specifically I live in "Silicon Valley" which is part of "The San Francisco Bay Area". But yeah....Coast Starlight is amazing....the first time I took it was Seattle to San Jose, as my "ride home from the Navy" (the military pays for your ride home after you have completed your last enlistment period, I just did one, 1999 to 2003, that was enough for me lol). I was on submarines, so the roommette was like officer's quarters, way more room than you get as junior enlisted on a submarine. I was on a Trident (His Majesty's Royal Navy also uses the Trident missile), and for junior enlisted, we sleep in bunkrooms, about the size of an office cubicle with nine people inside. Three stacked on top of each other amidships, three foreward and three aft. 🙂So even a roommette is spacious to me 🙂 One thing about Donner Pass, the area about 9 miles west of Truckee -- it is named after the Donner Party. In 1846, before that railroad was made, the Donner Party was making their way from the East Coast to San Francisco, and they got stuck in that area due to snow. They famously resorted to cannibalism to survive. 😲 Then in 1952, when private companies operated the passenger trains, one got stuck from a massive blizzard, around six feet (two meters) of snow.....they were stuck until the Army could come dig them out. Everybody was safe, though. 🙂It takes a lot of snow to stop trains in the USA 🙂 If it's only a foot or two (up to 60 cm), the train will just run right through it. Sorry about the smell...others have noticed that on the California Zephyr as well. I haven't heard about it being a problem on any other Amtrak train, and didn't experience on the Coast Starlight. Hopefully they can find a permanent fix for that. 😲

i was spoiled traveling by train back in 1967 when i was a child , the train system has gone totally down hill,i travelled from dayton ohio to california and dayton ,ohio to new york in the 1960s i had a great time ,but it has gone down hill

43rd sub ❤

Drinks package not worth it mate?

Brilliant!! I’m researching virgin cruises after coming back from a marella cruise and I see evil gt lee!!! EvilGTcruises ❤

Good lord, man, why all the moaning! Do you moan about Avanti west too ? Must be a City fan 😂

i have watched your video's and i liked the content however, there are some issues which have been figured out by me . i belive that if the issues are mitigated by the SEO.you can perform much better than now.

I had the same smell when I was traveling from El Paso TX to Chicago in bedroom I almost threw up, they tell you they are trying to fix it, but they never do! U spend all that money for and experience and u are uncomfortable and the train s are dirty make sure u bring cleaning products, they should be ashamed of themselves for letting that awful smell to keep going on they don't want to fix it, don't have any plans of fixing it either I love trains but it is not good

Jesus, do you ever stop complaining? I can’t keep watching

We loved your no frills vlog describing the cruise. Me and the Mrs are considering Transatlantic from the US to the UK but still up in the air on it . I definetly heard a Johnny Vegas twang in your voice, are you from the same area ? We subscribed as well, you have a bright future on RUclips for sure.

How were the tracks...I hear its a pretty rough trip

Do you think my trip was good or bad?

amazing

Just a little top heavy....dangerous

Gas mileage is 6 inches per gallon

Congratulations 🎉
