Amtrak Tampa Richmond recent customer reviews

there were two very drunk passengers sitting across the aisle from me for at least half the duration of my trip. After the first one departed from the train the other one sprawled his legs across the aisle for about 25 minutes and was kicking me while he was readjusting himself.
