Thank you Steve.? I am new to the JMT community and I have to say I love you guys.? Your commitment to this group is outstanding and a shining example of volunteerism at its best.? Wow.? Just wow.?
I've been working with YARTS on getting a schedule change on the Highway 41 route, which now makes it vastly easier to get to Yosemite from southern California the same day.? They took some of my suggestions and not others, but at least we now have a better connection from Southern California.
?
However, I have tested Amtrak's reservation system, and found there are a lot of glitches - it doesn't offer all the reasonable combinations, it couldn't find any service in some situations.? I have brought these issues to the attention of YARTS and the San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority staff, along with CalTrans management since they provide a lot of funding and would like to see it work well.
?
If anybody has problems with Amtrak reservations, please send me an email.

Be aware the published timetables on the amtraksanjoaquins.com website also have a lot of typos and misinformation.? I forwarded 72 points of errata to the SJJPA.
