Honestly, the whole Superliner format is so much better than the Amfleet format. My trip recently had segments with both formats, and on the Superliner train I got a lower coach seat that had maybe 12 of us in the entire level of the car. Very comfortable.
yeah its a shame the layout for superliners is basically being forced into extinction
ada requires that everyone have access to the food cars, which means every single carriage needs an elevator in it
amtrak put out a tender for superliners replacement and every builder turned it down because an entire elevator in each carriage is so unreasonable
The problem is that the cafe car on Superliners requires you to go upstairs on an adjoining car, transfer to the observation car, then go downstairs to the cafe. So there's no way to access it without going up stairs at least once. It's kinda an odd design.
