I took the train from LA Union station to Seattle and that took I want to say a day and a half. Standard stop and go maybe it couldve been faster if ot was more direct but even then at most youd probably only shave off maybe 4 hours at max. Its an 18 hr drive. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] TheBat@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Dude I left at fucking 8 in the morning from LA and didnt get to seattle till like 5 in the afternoon the nex day. The problem for me though is that I had nothing to focus on, I dont have such problems driving. Also the train only left in the morning, so yeah. 34 hour trip is fucking horrible. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] travysh@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) Nah. Just take like 4 Ambien and sleep for that entire 34 hour train ride. I drove Seattle to LA over the summer. Did it over two days. It wasn't pleasant per se. But I got to sleep in a real bed. Took an impromptu trip to San Jose (Winchester house). Found some good taco trucks. And still got there in half the time a train would. The train just doesn't make sense for us, not on long trips at least. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago Yeah without some major improvements they just trains are only viable for say Redlands to LA. People seem to forget just how fucken big the US is, California alone is larger the Britain FFS. Also I wish I could take sleeping pills, but between the Autism and my bodies resistences they just make me pissy. permalink fedilink source parent
