Pros: The trip was fine the it was the Amtrak Station at Jefferson City along with other riders were not informed we would be waiting outside for our train from Jefferson City to St. Louis. I was freezing that little tent they had and didn’t have enough seats. Instead of coming an hour early like I normally do I would have come 20 min with the proper jacket cost and hat on. I was sick when I got home. At the stationer since we were outside the could have kept supplying hog chocolate and coffee. They could had a generated since they said it would be awhile before they finish renovating it and somehow you can advertise the condition at the Jefferson City station waiting outside for our trip. I was very unhappy with this situation. Cons: The trip was fine but you need to improve WiFi. I couldn’t watch movies and the usage of the internet is interrupted mainly throughout the trip. Tips: Have hot drinks and coats if you going to get your train in Jefferson City try to go with someone that you can wait in the vehicle instead of being dropped off.
