A seating glitch on Amtrak
Regarding “New Polish on a Treasured Mission Jewel†[Weekend Escape, Sept. 12]: In July I boarded Amtrak with my two granddaughters at the Solano Beach station. After spending five minutes in seats, we and everyone else in the car were told to move. We could find no seats, so we stood for 1 1/2 hours. The stairs were full -- kids were sitting in baggage racks.
In San Juan Capistrano, a conductor told us there was an empty car, four cars back. That is where we had been seated at the start of our trip. I will never take Amtrak again.
