Amtrak Seattle Vancouver recent customer reviews
Extremely disorganized, they are SO short staffed. The one guy who seemed to be the only person working was kind though. For someone who had never travelled with Amtrak, it was very confusing and stressful.
Jessica S.
Delayed arrival due to clash with goods train also needing the time. Arrived over 1.5 hrs late which was very inconvenient for the pickup arrangements in Vancouver. Plus no platform and cramped slow immigration processing after a very delayed journey was pretty primitive.
Neville C.
It was smooth. So peaceful. Driver was helpful and good communicator. Starting bus service from Seattle airport would be great help for customers. Ride share and taxis service charges for getting to the station will effect negatively the future bookings of bus and train services for the person who have booked this time.
