A question.

I am going on the CS on Aug. 4, to Eugene, from LA. Because my friend screwed up her ticket, I changed mine to accommodate her. Whets the difference in Bedroom A to the rest of the bedrooms? I have heard that folks don’t like it. Well, I now have it. Is there such a difference? Since I’m blind, I can’t see the configuration, but you guys know, so tell all please. Smile. Jim

Bedroom "A" is the bedroom closest to the end of the car.  Because of that there are two (slight) drawbacks:

1) "A" is the closest to the doors separating the cars so a) you may hear the door opening and closing as passengers move from car to car and b) there is a bit more "roadbed" noise as the track noise can obviously "seep" through the door fittings.  The further away from the door you are, the less noise.

2) Because "A" is at the end of the car, you lose a little "real estate" off the corridor side of the room as it's not perfectly rectangular.  Not a bit deal.  Here's a link to the floor plan of a Superliner:

I have been in all the bedrooms over the years and I don't think "A" is one to avoid, but if you are sensitive to noise, it's a consideration.

Hope this helps.

Charlie

Thanks Charles, not a big deal to me either. Jim

	Just me perhaps, but I have ridden in A and would avoid it.  The room is smaller.  I like E.
