Amtrak timetable changes taking place in October 2017:

 

Pacific Surfliners (effective 10/9/17):   Many changes to train numbers, and also which trains have northern terminus at Los Angeles, Goleta, or San Luis Obispo.

 

Northeast Regional - Virginia (effective 10/31/17): Includes new Roanoke extension.

 

Still expected are new timetables for Ethan Allen Express (whose timetable folder is shared with the Vermonter) and also the Empire Service since changes affecting the Ethan Allen Express also affect the New York-Albany corridor. The change is coming, but while Amtrak's scheduling department knows about it, Amtrak's IT department does not.

 

For November there may be changes to long distance train schedules consistent with the move from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time.

So now we have a bunch of new timetables that took effect on October 23rd, but were not posted on Amtrak's site until a week later, October 30th.   May I use the word, "typical" ??

 

As I knew already, the Ethan Allen Express on weekends now operates as 295 rather than 291, and runs about 55 minutes later. That prompted new timetables for the Ethan Allen Express , as well as the Empire Service.   The Ethan Allen Express schedule shown no longer includes the Vermonter.  However the so-called Vermonter timetable also shows it is effective October 23rd, but what is posted is the Ethan Allen Express, so there is no information at all about the Vermonter.   Inexcusable.

 

There are also new timetables dated October 23rd for the Adirondack and Maple Leaf.

 

Amtrak, I'm watching you.  :rolleyes:

Now there IS a new Vermonter timetable, effective November 1st.

 

Updated link for Ethan Allen Express 10/23/17 here.    The above Ethan Allen & Vermonter links no longer work.
