If Dreamstar brings back the Lark, it would be a good stopgap measure until CAHSR Bakersfield-Palmdale opens in the 2040s. The Coast Starlight sucks, nobody wants to spend 12 hours in the middle of the day going from Jack London to LA Union in a train with no wifi 9 am to 9 pm.
Stuff the economy cars with reclinable seats, put all the crying babies in one car, dim the lights, and let me sleep 9 hours to LA Union Station for under 100 dollars.
They're not going to be able to achieve their stated goal of 2026. There's an equipment shortage and they won't be able to get everything in place in time. Even if they only run the service during holidays when airports are packed and airlines raise their prices it will still be a boon to travellers as long as the price is cheaper than a flight
