Commuters would be so happy for a peaceful train ride without the loud, repetitive and condescending announcements about crowded trains and "ticket-paying passengers"! Listen up conductors, commuters are passengers who pay hundreds a month to increase ridership on the Amtrak Shitliner! Let's hope Metrolink will add another Oceanside train. It's amazing how one Metrolink conductor can manage 6 trains and get to its destination on time and Amcrap has half a dozen conductors and the train is late. Those old Amcrap cars are a disgrace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3955530883535642845.post-91757358040489178942011-11-01T12:13:06.828-07:002011-11-01T12:13:06.828-07:00Amtrak service on the Surfliner 582 is bad.

The train cars are very outdated, passengers crowd up to a conductor so they can get off (because those junk boxes do not have automatic doors), the announcements (every 5 minutes all the way from LA to San Diego) are loud and repetitive to the point of obnoxiousness, conductors are not friendly but talk over the intercom as if we're first graders, the train is late more than half the time and managemnt does not care! I can't tell you how many times I have called their customer service in Pennsylvania and Los Angeles Surfliner office but with NO improvement because all they care about is $$$ and government funding (from our taxes). I cahnged my work hours so I don't have to ride home on the Amtrak Shitliner!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
