Let me set the scene, Seattle, mid April 2006. Standing in the station waiting for the Amtrak train to arrive in its full glory.... 2 hours later and still waiting, being told that it was 'in the process of cleaning'. Another 30 minutes pass and something finally happens. Boarding starts and everything seems like its getting underway, the first 2/3 hours of the journey were very enjoyable. The cabins that we had were opposite eachother each able to hold 2 persons, it had to setups. You could have 2 seats facing eachother with a table inbetween, or 2 beds in bunk setup one with and one without a window. This was all quite easy to change it was a matter of a few levers and you either had beds or seats. The seats and beds were comfortable and that aspect of the trip was good. However, very much like British Rail, expect delays. But you can never prepare yourself for the massive delays that amtrak caused to our holiday trip. It was meant to be a routine 22 hour tip from Seattle to San Fransisco sleeper trip, which ended up being over 32 hours. And according to our very humble and helpful car conductor was very normal, this is down to the fact that frieght trains have right of way over Amtrak trains. I would do it again, but this time i would be prepared for the inevitable delay. I rated this very poor, as it was very poor service. However it is an experience I will never forget. The views from the panoramic car was truly awesome....

I did Seattle-Vancouver by Amtrak a few years ago, and though the journey was pleasant enough once it got going, it too was late and the checking in/boarding process at Seattle very tiresome - aping all the worst aspect of air travel without the benefit of speed.
