Amtrak South Bend Kalamazoo recent customer reviews

It was not crowded. The seating was comfortable. There was plenty of time between for changing from one train to the other in Chicago, so although the train from South Bend was delayed, it was not a problem. The SOB station did not open its doors at the time on the schedule. If their schedule has changed, it would be better to get it changed on line also. However, the station attendant was very kind and helpful after she came.
