Got yelled at by security for using the only open bathroom WITHOUT a literal puddle of urine outside it. Spokane is really the worst of Washington State

The train ran 90 min late at the station we boarded at. We had to disembark at Minot, ND and spent the next 9 hours waiting for a bus to shuttle passengers and luggage to Williston, ND to get back on a train. We were in the first bus but our luggage finally was delivered on the very last bus. Right now the train will be 10 hours late getting into Seattle. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because the staff on board have been nice. Other than our return trip, I'll never ride Amtrak ever again!

3 hour delay, no updates, no reason, no communication, no warning, I missed my connection, created a huge hassle. The service is a hit or a miss, either super friendly or extremely rude employees. The train it's self is grimy but is a good price

SPK is decent enough, but I don’t recommend going alone. Have someone wait with you until your train comes. I haven’t had an issue with train delays from SPK to PDX. There are tweakers and weirdos all over, just like at PDX, the difference being that at SPK the tweakers are also inside the station whereas in Portland they’re mostly waiting outside. Always be aware of your surroundings and never let go of your bags or leave them unattended.

It's a pretty big step to take unassisted, but yes, a conductor should be able to help you board the train and stash your walker in the luggage racks

Matthew Livezey | Aug 20, 2020

Assuming you are talking about Amtrak - No fee for two checked bags per person under 50 lbs each. And two carry on each. If checked bags must be to a staffed destination. Hope this helps.

Is there overnight parking I can leave my car for a week.

Darlene Pearsall | Aug 20, 2020
asdf Bill | Aug 20, 2020

hmm..overnight parking vs weekly parking are two different things conceptually when talking about security of your vehicle. There is secure parking at the airport which would necessitate a taxi/uber to and fro OR a secure garage the Davenport at Post and 1st street which is about 4 blocks away which I've heard isn't cheap. I'm also a member of tripadvisor which is a good resource for finding travel related Q&A... .

Do they have metal detectors or anything?

What are the prices for food on train 8 to Chicago? Traveling with children and can't find a menu?

tg Voge tg voge | Aug 21, 2019
XainPhoenix | Aug 21, 2019

I ride regularly. It sort of depends on what you want to eat. Lounge car has snacks and smaller items. Snacks were like the $3-5 range. Foodstuffs like hotdog/pizza/cheeseburger etc were like $6-8. Dining car food was more because you can only get full meals. Kids meals mostly about $8, adult meals depended on meal period. Breakfast $9-14, lunch $13-16, and dinner $17-30. That's all just rough ranges. I couldn't find current menu pictures either.

Matthew Livezey | Aug 21, 2019

Ok, I wasn't there last night (this morning), but..... The crew is required to thing the bell anytime moving alongside the platform. They don't normally sound horn. If someone was on or near tracks they would sound horn. Or conducting a test/inspection.
