2 vegan meals were pre order when we made reservations 4 months ago but servers on train said they had no knowledge of it...so we paid for 2 meals in advance but got none..

Late start. Several delays along the way. Terrible communication and seemed as though they did not care. Offered ‘compensation’ for the delay in the form of a useless discount for the next ride on the exact same route and time within the next 12 months knowing that hardly anyone will be able to use it in that way
