Very helpful staff. Was hard when it was delayed so long. I would have appreciated an email so I didn’t have to stay at station for so many hrs as I live far from station

Very friendly staff and helpful. Missed not being allowed to eat in the dining car. Food from the canteen car was not enjoyable. Will have to pack my own, always enjoyed the dining car on past trips. The button to push for drinking water was almost impossible with my arthritic hands. Another passenger had to push it for me.
