 Service on the Lake Shore Limited consists of reserved coach seating and Viewliner sleepers , as well as amenities like a dining car service . As the Erie station is not equipped with a ticket office , nor Amtrak 's Quik @-@ Trak ticket machines , all tickets from the station have to be pre @-@ paid . The station is , however , equipped with a waiting room and public restrooms . The Erie Metropolitan Transit Authority 's downtown circulator , the Bayliner Trolley , provides service between the station and downtown Erie . The trolley only operates , however , at the scheduled arrival time of the eastbound Lake Shore Limited .
