Pros: It was great to be able to sit in the observation car on the train. Cons: I was a bit confused by the word ‘coach’ on my booking, so I had thought it was a bus and not a train that I was getting. Happy to find out it was in fact a train. Tips: Wanderu seems pretty easy to use and the price of the train from Seattle to Portland was better than I had expected.

Pros: The staff at Union station very friendly and helpful, boarding was easy, train clean and travel picturesque. Kept you updated that connections were running late. Checked baggage feature is very helpful. Cons: When booking to San Francisco, the choices are to Emeryville, but nowhere does it say, you must purchase an additional ticket for the Amtrak bus to the Bay area. Very disconcerting to have the driver tell you, you can't board the bus because you don't have a ticket. It isn't even offered on the site and the Amtrak main office is closed after hours. The driver sent us there - didn't he know it was closed? In the end, the driver let us board the bus to Mission St. Unneeded stress. Don't assume travelers know. Tips: Anyone traveling to San Francisco Bay area - please enquire about how you get across the Bay and be prepared to call Uber or get a taxi to your hotel if you're unable to take the Amtrak connecting bus.

Pros: It was a beautiful train ride and much more pleasant that driving would have been. It was easy to get to and the station location of the in Santa Barbara allows easy walking to both the beach and State street. Cons: As with everywhere these days, there were minimal Covid measures. Being assigned a seat directly next to someone else while there were still plenty of open seats was mildly annoying. Tips: Say hello to your train conductor! They are very friendly.
