Amtrak help (especially by the experts) |
|
Posted by Jeff Rosen on Sun Jul 20 09:55:18 2014 My son has to be in SUNY Oswego Weds through Thurs for orientation and picking classes for the fall. As much as I'd like to drive him I'm having so many attendance problems with the USPS (I was awol for Passover and Shavuous because I didn't show after they illegally denied religious observance) that if I go sick 3 days I could be suspended.Both Greyhound and Amtrak go to Syracuse where he's have to catch a bus to Oswego. There are only 3 buses from Syracuse to Oswego that if he misses connections he'd be (excuse my French) in deep doodoo. My son Arthur DOES NOT LIKE BUSES!! He'd rather take the train. Also if he takes the LIRR he wouldn't have to leave Penn to go to the Port Auth. There are two trains he can take, a 7:15 (63 Mapleleaf) and a 10:20 (281 Empire). How reliable are those trains? I always hear about Amtrak delays. Also, does he have to book in advance? Greyhound on the other hand usually makes their schedules. |
