Thanks for the update. The reservation system works really well here in SoCal on the Pacific Surfliner. It takes away the "what if" factor of getting on the train. The Surfliner is set-up a little differently in that the bike truly is just rolled on. There used to be that vertical placement arrangement as shown in the photo. Raising the bike to vertical gets a bit exciting with a touring bike with panniers when others are trying to board the train. But it sure beats boxing & the constraint of specific stations. Over time I hope we see lots more of this service.
