GuitarJimBourke in the last week-Edit 70 miles south west of st Louis. a conductor called the police and had me tossed from the Amtrak train. i was on route to Oklahoma city to a gig on Friday July 10th to recite poems from published poetry book i wrote.. i had to pay $70 for cab fare to get to st. Louis.. the police were kind a enough to call a cab for me. & in st Louis they refused to sell me a bus ticket to get to Oklahoma city at 11:00 pm.. the police then said, i couldn't stay in station but could come back at 3:30 in morning when the Amtrak ticket counter opened ..

Hours changed in March. They are now open till 15 after 10 am. I got there at 7am. to buy a ticket, and the doors were locked. Finally, at 707, the doors opened.

I GAVE THEM ONE STAR BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO BE IN THE MIND SET OF "TAKING CUSTOMERS MONEY." THE SCHEDULED TIMES CAN BE CONFUSING AND THEY WILL NOT GIVE YOU A "REFUND OF MONEY OR SERVICE."

"WHAT HAPPENS TO THE CUSTOMER COMES FIRST, WHEN IT COMES TO AMTRAK?" We enjoyed the ride but, "I'LL NEVER GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO "STEAL"...
