Posted by Joe V on Sun Dec 4 07:45:49 2016, in response to Re: FRA ''preferred'' replacement Amtrak/MARC Baltimore tunnel now up to $4 billion, posted by Henry R32 #3730 on Sat Dec 3 12:20:06 2016. NJT MLV cars are comfortable ? Really ?While people don't much like 3-seaters, the MLV have more than their share of undesirable seats: - There are 32 seats set up in facing 4's, which are seldom 100% occupied despite standees, unless everyone knows each other (seldom) - There are 20 tip-up seats in the out ends (assuming no bathroom) which are narrow, short, and have low backs. With no provision for luggage, there is no way Amtrak would touch them with a 10 foot poll. It is bad enough dealing with EWR airport passengers on NJT with their suitcases, steamer trucks, and kitchen sinks, and then their navigating them on those God-damned narrow stairs while people are also trying to get off at Newark. |
