Amtrak Train delayed by over 8 hours
We were scheduled to leave Denver @ 8:05 am to take an Amtrak train to Glenwood Springs. It has now been moved back to 4:00 pm.
I was hoping to ride the Rio Grande Trail on Sunday.
Yikes!!
How come trains are scheduled to the minute in Europe and are always on time and U.S. trains are notoriously and horrendously late?
Five of us planned a fun weekend enjoying the strawberry festival, riding bikes, and soaking in the hot springs. Now are plans will have to be drastically altered.
My first disappointment was when I found out Amtrak (on the Chicago to California route anyway) doesn’t transport bikes (w/out a big hassle & extra $). Now the late train. How much do you want a bet they won’t be willing to refund our fare?
