Pros: Nice to avoid driving. Cons: The train was delayed arriving in Petersburg to begin with and the delays accumulated all along the way. It makes it very inconvenient for people kind enough to pick you up. People sitting nearby played loud explicit content. The attendant did ask them to lower the volume which was appreciated. The announcements on this train were too low to hear. Requests had to be made to repeat each time. Each announcement was too low the first time. My trip from Salisbury to Petersburg 10/17 was PERFECT. It was right on time and the staff was friendlier and more helpful. I was a bit disappointed on the return trip. As an older, shorter lady traveling solo, I very much appreciate help lifting my bags into the overhead and help getting on and off the train with two bags. Tips: Do not hesitate asking for help lifting bags into the overhead and help getting on and off.
