In reference to Matthew Melzer's
Comments (MelzerApril7.html):
I agree 100% with Matt. It is not diner-lite that is to come next
year and has some good features IF Amtrak call pull it off.
The present change is not diner-lite and it should not be referred too
that way.
No restaurant that I am aware of can satisfy everyone's taste or
level of service. This includes Amtrak, the railroads prior to
Amtrak and not the next 2 steps of Amtrak service. Many go to
McDonalds and enjoys it. For me its not food, unless
the next choice 25 miles a way. Will also ask, how many of you
have found a good restaurant to meet your needs, to find out that the
ownership or chef changed?
Please think about meals outside Amtrak before posting.
Any food reports must have notes taken, names, length of
time for service
etc. It has to be accurate, to have any value to Amtrak or
Congress.
How many did not enjoy the limited service of the early 80's.
? But by golly, we survived, until it was found that it was a
disaster.
Remember the new management of Amtrak ( Congress ) must learn this all
over. We can help with facts....not blasting on one persons
opinion or something received 3rd hand.
I am not endorsing either of the proposed service as good or useful in
saving money, but also remember the old saying."Try it, you may
like it"
