[nfbmi-talk] Amtrak Information for National Convention.

[J.J. Meddaugh]

Though they'll tell you this on the phone, the conductors won't care and 
can't really since you do have a ticket on the train which passes your city.
I know it was brought up that if we can get 20 from Lansing and 20 from 
Dearborn/Detroit then we could just get two group rates if there was that 
much interest. Guess we should figure that out first.
The final alternative would be to get a group rate from Chicago and have 
people get there, though this is a bit more work for everyone.

So does this mean we cannot board the train while it is in route as it was 
discussed during the conference call? I mean is it really going to matter 
all that much if the tickets say that we are getting on at Dearborn, but we 
get on at Jackson or Kalamazoo instead?

Although now that I think about it a bit more, an individual ticket from 
Lansing might be about the same price once you factor in the cost getting to 
and from the train station. When I checked on the price for Lansing, it was 
about $260 which would be about the same or even a little less than taking 
the Michigan Flyer to Jackson to board the train with a group ticket. If 
this is the case, then I’m not sure why anyone from Lansing would want to 
bother with the additional hassle with the group ticket if they can get one 
from Lansing at the same price.
