Cons: Directions to the terminals, we were sent to the one side of the terminal, but it was for boarding of sleep car passengers only. The side we were supposed to go to was a further distance and then we waited in a long line to go back to the other side of the station where we had left. No clear communication of what car to board, a lot of miscommunication in the heat. No instructions about parking. It would be nice to have a heads up on parking availability and actual boarding information. Tips: Plan to be to Union Station 30-45 minutes early if you're parking.More
