CrossCountry User Reviews
The train service received positive feedback for its high standards and cleanliness. However, some passengers expressed concerns about selfish behavior affecting seat availability.

It was lovely, great customer service
Zakhele T.
The first direct train was canceled. Then we took 3 trains to get to final destination and all 3 were delayed. We ended up arriving 2 hours later, on a ride that was supposed to take a hour and a half.
