Last week I sent a Survey to the Station Managers of these two stations to determine 1) if they were receiving adequate numbers of the Lynchburg Flyer, a major vehicle for promoting the new Lynchburg to Boston/Springfield Service and 2) if they were displaying these flyers at their stations.
I sent these surveys because of past reports that the Charlottesville Station, at one time, was not displaying the Flyer and because I had not been able to visit either station personally.
Last week, I talked to one individual waiting for the new train in the Manassas Station Waiting room who thought that she had seen the Flyer displayed at the Charlottesville Station and had talked to one conductor who reported seeing the Flyer displayed at the Lynchburg Station.
On Tuesday, December 15, 2009, Richard Peacock, Secretary of the Virginia Association of Railway Passengers (VARP) personally visited both stations and reported that both currently had adequate supplies of the Flyer and were displaying them.
Bottomline:
At present, all stations, both staffed and non-staffed, except Washington DC’s Union Station, the 2nd busiest station in the US, display the flyers.
Next Steps:
On Thursday, Richard Peacock and I will visit Union Station to request the Station Manager to display the Flyer where the Station displays other Amtrak flyers.
