Amtrak Ventura Santa Barbara recent customer reviews
I had a reservation from Ventura to Santa Barbara on Amtrak. I was the only person waiting at the station at night in an isolated area for almost 3 hours. No alert came from Amtrak and when the train finally came no explanation for the delay. I was at the point of leaving but no clue where I could go to get help. It should have been handled with a text or a bulletin on the reader board.
