Yeah, the NE takes 3 hours for me to NYC, the Acela takes 2 1/2 ...

is that worth it over NE business class...not really.

It’s been some time since being on an Amtrak train… NE regional.

Definitely less stress than driving during the holidays.**

Big fan of AMTRAK! But the current version of the ACELA isn't worth it.

When I lived in CT, when I'd go to a VT game, it would be Amtrak to DC,

Amtrak is the only way to travel the NE Corridor. **

I'm a Marriott guy so I end up at the Springhill Suites 37th St just west.

No doubt the car is actually a worse experience in NYC**
