Taking Amtrak When Snow Cancels Flights Between New York and DC: Amtrak Acela Express Business Class Washington, D.C.-New York – Review
Today, three-quarters of travelers traveling between New York and the nation’s capital go by train, and roughly half of those going between New York and Boston take to the rails. (www.frequentbusinesstraveler.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Planes, trains and automobiles :-)
I agree lol
Always wanted to take the Amtrak somewhere. Definitely on my bucket list.
I can remember taking Amtrak from Boston to NY during a blizzard that shut down most of the East coast in the early 2000's. I had booked my ticket months in advance but the line of just-shy-of-fistfighting travelers was something else. People standing in the aisles the whole way from Boston to NY, a lady sitting on the toilet typing on her laptop who would get up and move whenever somebody needed to take a leak. What a ride.
That wouldn't happen anymore as Amtrak has moved to all-reserved consists, so there would be enough seats for everyone. Plus, the Acela would never be in a situation like this. Sounds like a fun experience though!
Acela would never be used in a blizzard? Funny. I spend a lot of time in the NE corridor and I can't recall Acela service suspended because of snow.
No, the Acela would never have overcrowding problems.
How about last week??
