> Made it to Atlanta station - receive phone call from the people picking us up...they have never used the train and don't know where the station is. We give directions.
I lived in Atlanta for 7 years and didn't even know it had a train station.
I took my dad on a trip from Atlanta to Charlotte to see a college football bowl game. The train ride wasn't bad, but it definitely required a lot of flexibility to get to and from the stations in both cities. Taxis in the middle of the night in Charlotte, buses and walking in Atlanta. Neither city is really designed for rail to be integrated into their regional transport system, but I think both are trying to change that.
