On Friday, Amtrak released a new timetable for service on the Cascadia Corridor between Seattle and Portland cancelling two daily roundtrips. Service will revert to the old timetable of four daily roundtrips between the city pair on Amtrak Cascades plus one daily roundtrip on Coast Starlight. Passengers who were booked on cancelled trains can be rebooked to other train services.
The new timetable went into effect today. The earliest and latest trips between Seattle and Portland are as follows:
- Seattle to Portland: The earliest train departs at 7.25am and latest at 6.10pm daily.
- Portland to Seattle: On weekdays, the earliest train departs at 8.05am while on weekends and holidays the earliest train departs at 8.20am. The latest train departs at 7.20pm daily.
The revised timetable restores through service to Eugene on some Cascades trains (Trains 500, 505, 506, and 508). Passengers on these through trains will be able to book business class seats and have full food and checked baggage service, which had been curtailed under the previous timetable.
