Sound Transit Sampler Pack (Sounder, Express Bus and Link Light Rail)
Fellow "transit enthusiast" (and retiree) Rick and I on an excursion taking the Sounder "N" (or North) Line from Seattle's King Street station to Everett, the 512 express bus back down to Northgate Station, and the Link light rail to the University District, north of downtown Seattle. The buff-ness is high in this one... 🥴

Amtrak Coast StarLATE! We Got There... (Sort Of)

Just an ordinary, run-of-the-mill trip on the Coast Starlight (Amtrak Train #11) from Seattle to [almost] Los Angeles, and what I experienced along the way. www.american-rails.com/star.html www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train www.railpassengers.org/site/assets/files/20928/coast-starlight.pdf
New York Style Pizza in Seattle???

In a marked departure from my usual material, a friend and I assess the viability of "New York Style Pizza" at Supreme, a bar and pizzeria in the University District of Seattle. Just as you'd find in any given pizzeria in the New York metropolitan area, there is a glass counter displaying several different pies with myriad toppings when you first walk in. A good first sign... supreme.bar/univer...

Cherry Blossoms of Branch Brook Park

Common knowledge among locals, Branch Brook Park in Newark, NJ is home to more cherry blossom trees than the entire city of Washington, DC. For about two weeks every April, thousands of people flock to the park for the annual cherry blossom festival, or just to take it all in. I walked the entire length of the park from the Belleville section down to the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart. ...

    When planning a journey with Amtrak, plan to get to your destination at least a day earlier than you need to be there for a wedding, anniversary, birthday, graduation, etc. Amtrak may do a great job keeping on schedule on the northeast corridor on tracks they own, but alas with the rest of America Amtrak runs on tracks own by the large freight railroads. The train dispatchers know who puts butter on their bread, it isn't Amtrak or VIA. I have had my travel plans cancelled by airlines, buses, trains, and cruise ships. It is what it is... Whatever form of transportation, plan to get to your destination a day early.

    My husband and I have ridden the Coast Starlight four times now. The last trip in the spring of 2023 was one we will never forget. We got as far as Davis, CA when the train stopped and they announced that they would go no further due to washed out tracks ahead (remember all that rain?). We were told to gather our stuff and leave the train. They said if we wanted to we could go back as far as Sacramento or catch a commuter train to Emeryville. We asked our car attendant’s advice. We are from Canada so aren’t terribly familiar with the area. He advised we go back to Sacramento since it is a safer area and there is a bigger station. So we did. We got in the lineup at the station for what felt like an eternity while a mentally unbalanced woman shrieked and carried on. When I finally got to the front of the line I asked if there was any way possible to get to LA since we were meeting family there to board a cruise. She said we could go to Emeryville on a commuter train and then catch a bus to LA. Sold. She printed us the necessary tickets, refunded our entire one way trip (unasked) and we were on our way to Emeryville. We got there only to learn that we had a 10 hour wait. I rented a nearby hotel room so we could shower and rest. Then, we got on the bus for an overnight trip on horribly uncomfortable seats. The bright spot in this is the bus driver played guitar and did so at all the rests. He was fantastic. We got to LA almost exactly 24 hours late. But, we got there. Lots of people would give up on Amtrak after that but none of it was their fault. Also, if you aren’t prepared for some bumps in the road on a journey you might as well stay home. We are booked for a trip from Vancouver, BC to Fort Lauderdale in March. We are very excited but are also prepared for hiccups.

    • @triphops3949
      @triphops3949 8 месяцев назад

      Wow, that's one hell of an experience! Yes, I've read and heard about MANY Amtrak "horror stories", some way worse than others. It is unfortunate, because for many Americans, Amtrak is their first rail experience, and if it leaves a bad taste in their mouth, they're unlikely to use it again if given a choice. It's also not fair to those who depend on the service if they have no other alternative. But I'm glad you made the most of your experience, even if you can't rely on Amtrak to get you to your destination on time (except in the Northeast, for the most part). Now Vancouver to Fort Lauderdale by rail??? That sounds pretty epic! Good luck with that! Thank you so much for watching, by the way!

    These cheapy flights use every inch of space and there's no legroom , You get with the cheap airfare unruly people that are already drunk before boarding or the parents that let their kids do whatever , or the people that just want to start fights! Not worth it folks !Jet Blue has the most leg room of all the carriers for coach and since they charge a little more it is totally worth it since you don't get the lower class garbage people and you get some piece and quiet and you can stretch out , If Jet blue winds up buying Spirit they will strip those planes and use the same leg room parameters that they use on every Jet Blue Flight ! As a businessman that travels regularly i have been on pretty much every airline and now our Company and other Sales techs use jet blue exclusively ! Take it from someone that has logged almost 1 million miles , Go jet blue and you will not be disappointed! If you don,t believe me then check out the many reviews others have posted or google it!

Why Frontier made the original bid for Sprit and backed out when JetBlue was willing to pay a lot more than they were. As the Frontier owner said, overspending for an airline is bad business. By the way the CEO of Frontier used to work at Spirit so he is quite familiar with both airlines and is why is regarded as keeping Spirit close to its original purpose if they merged.
