Amtrak Pacific Surfliner

Pros: Staff was very polite. Cons: Destination timeline for each stop. Announcer let us know when the next stop was 20 minutes away but I think travelers would appreciate the timeline for each. As a first time rider, I think that would have been helpful or informative. Tips: Don't rely on the WiFi. Perhaps it was the weather condition during my trip; but I never managed to stay connected. I would almost immediately lose the signal. Take some mindless reading material, sit back and enjoy the down time.
