No food or drink on board. The bus station at Albany is a disgrace: dirty restrooms, no cafe.

For my first ride on an Amtrak train, the only things that seemed to go right were departure and arrival times. Toilets were backed up and without paper towels, there was an odd smell throughout the carriage, the footrest on my seat didn't work, and my seat had no fold-out tray so I couldn't get work done without straining my neck.
