Amtrak solves “system-wide ticketing problem”

UPDATE 1:57 a.m. 10/06/2014: Amtrak says that the network outage has been fixed.

EARLIER: WASHINGTON– If you are trying to book a train ticket on Amtrak today, best pick up the phone.

Amtrak announced late Sunday morning that its online reservations program is not working at this time. An Amtrak spokesperson tells WTOP that passengers will not be able to book tickets online, nor at self-serve automated kiosks at stations, and instead must call Amtrak (1-800-USA-RAIL) to make their travel arrangements.

People who already have tickets and are traveling today should not be affected.
