Amtrack question?

Question

i would like to purchase tickets at the amtrack station but when i look online it says 1 reserved coach seat all other options sold out on all of the times. what does that mean?

Answer 1

I think it means that your upgrade options are limited to no upgrade options becuase they are sold out or unavailable on that train.

Answer 2

Exactly that - you can ride reserved coach, but all other options are sold out (first class accommodations).

You can always ask the Conductor while on board if there is a room available and the Conductor can chose to sell it to you at a discounted rate.

Answer 3

it is a purchase for an individual

Answer 4

it means when you buy ticket you are reserving a seat for yourself on that train

there are some trains where you dont need a reservation

(like the Pacific surfliners trains in California (expect around

Thanksgiving time) when all trains become reserve trains)

Answer 5

all seats sold out  except 1 coach seat, (Like a seat on a bus)
