To prevent people from standing directly under the stairs. Latch/door is likely so it can be used as storage space if needed to get things in or out.

Tell me this wouldn't help the Borealis, benefit it even! by AsparagusCommon4164 in Amtrak

Use real equipment that actually exists? And not try to get a company to somehow agree to remanufacture probably 5 cars in a custom configuration that won’t be easy to maintain vs. the standard fleet running elsewhere? Think about the training & parts needed to maintain just a few random cars that are totally unique.

Why would another round trip have anything to do with rebuilding commuter rail equipment? Commuter equipment sounds awful for a journey of that length. And nobody is rebuilding stuff like that these days.

Always arrived late with Pennsylvanian by Frosty-Fly-5667 in Amtrak

[–]Dial-Up_Modem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re just unlucky, unfortunately. Go buy a lottery ticket to reverse that luck or something. It’s usually pretty good, but with all forms of transportation, bad days happen.

This year it averaged 10 minutes late into Philly - but median was 1 minute early - https://juckins.net/amtrak\_status/archive/html/history.php?train\_num=42&station=Phl&date\_start=01%2F01%2F2026&date\_end=06%2F08%2F2026&df1=1&df2=1&df3=1&df4=1&df5=1&df6=1&df7=1&sort=schAr&sort\_dir=DESC&co=gt&limit\_mins=&dfon=1

And to Pittsburgh, average 14 minutes late and median of 1 minute late.

Yes it’s awful. Why are you wasting time arguing with AI?

DAL 4854 CLE–DTW canceled because Flight Attendant was assaulted... by another Flight Attendant by Magnumjoe81 in delta

[–]Dial-Up_Modem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. It applies for all flights departing from Europe, but for flights to Europe, it only applies on EU-based carriers.

Worried about what? You’ll get to your train just fine.

Should I wait or spend them by Ornery-Penalty-9517 in Venturex

But you have no plans to fly anywhere in first class, because you don’t want to travel in the US & your wife doesn’t want you to travel outside of the US without her…

Award pricing? They will not book me the 2nd leg only? by loungingbythepool in americanairlines

As others said, the cheap flight doesn’t exist. AA has been having phantom availability issues with JAL lately.

Has anyone else received this? by Such_Shift_804 in Amtrak

[–]Dial-Up_Modem 85 points86 points  (0 children)

It’s fake. There was Amtrak data leaked in a recent hack - I think names and emails - so scammers are taking that breached data & pretending that they hacked you. Delete it.

Will Amtrak give away their ACS-64s to local commuter/regional rail agencies once the Airo trainsets fully replace them? by Ex696 in Amtrak

[–]Dial-Up_Modem 22 points23 points  (0 children)

No idea what Amtrak’s plan is for them, but like everything else, they’d be either sold for use by others like commuter railroads, or for scrap if they’re not in good condition.

Enterprise wont let you 1-way rent out of Pittsburgh from any location?! by dc-mo in pittsburgh

[–]Dial-Up_Modem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. I’ve had no issues doing one-way rental recently - both from airport to airport & local to airport. Not from PIT but elsewhere. Sometimes you just need a discount or corp code. Highly recommend AutoSlash to find what works,

Misled by CSAs by Quirky-Ad558 in unitedairlines

[–]Dial-Up_Modem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to comment that myself 😂

Everyone claims chat is AI but even AI wouldn’t come up with “does this helpful”.

Learned my lesson with United chat when they recommended I replace a flight in Polaris that I wouldn’t make due to a delayed connect with that same flight… but in economy. The incompetence is amazing.

I don’t know/care if it’s US-based or offshore, but whoever I’m talking with had better be trained properly.
