In Providence also - but just for AE. I think I may have seen some (very few) commercials for "service to over 500 cities and towns" somewhere, but not recently.I see ads all the time on the TV and on the radio. Granted I'm in a prime market, NYC, but Amtrak does advertise. Both currently and in the past. I often see a comercial during the 11 PM news on NBC. Many of the comercials are of course for Acela, but I do on occasion see/hear a comercial for the LD's too.
Actually, if Amtrak would borrow a leaf from the company that about getting first class service on a plane for the price of coach, I can see a very appealing and logical ad. Imagine cutting from the scene of a family serenely watching the scenery going by their dining window to the scene of the same family crunched into the plane seats watching a horrible movie.It is great ad, but it is too logical, but people aren't logical...
As one who works for the before-mentioned company, I agree completely. In fact, I was just on another site and we had a vertical banner ad running down the side and I was thinking, "Why don't I see these from Amtrak?"Actually, if Amtrak would borrow a leaf from the company that about getting first class service on a plane for the price of coach, I can see a very appealing and logical ad.

You and many, many others!I have constantly said Amtrak needs to either offer a second-class slumbercoach-type offering, a sectional sleeper, or both.
While watching the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (gimme a break) play the BoSox at Fenway the other day on TV, I also saw Amtrak ads. Two of them behind the plate. On the left was a pic of an Acela, with the headline "Acela Express." On the right (looking toward the plate on TV) was also an Acela pic, with the headline "Amtrak.com."I toured Fenway park a few weeks ago and Amtrak had advertising there.
