Amtrak Vancouver Portland recent customer reviews

Unfortunately my trip was on the day there was water and wind problems north of Olympia. It was a long day of travel, which became an hour and a half longer. Fortunately I was able to get a hold of my ride , who picked me up, or it would have become more difficult. I was dry, warm, had light to read, etc, and access to a restroom, so that part was good.

Train was taken in Seattle to PDX, staff almost nonexistent, washrooms filthy. Train, comfortable seating, swift and easy. Feels like with more staff and $ investment in all amenities it could be fun!
