I am planning a trip to my high school reunion in Atlantic City, NJ (traveling from BOS) and I noticed what looks to be a new service: ACES. It appears to be part of NJT but you have to buy tickets from Amtrak. Has anyone taken this service? Also, I noticed on the NJT website that due to track work, there will be some bus-titution starting March 5 and continuing through the summer in two phases. Would I be correct to assume that this would also apply to the ACES train?
Also, does anyone know if the amtrak guaranteed connection would apply between a NE regional or acela and the aces train? The amtrak system doesn't want to allow me to book from BOS to ACE but will allow NYP to ACE. Love to hear any feedback from anyone with this service. Also, I apologize if this should have gone in a different forum, but since ticketing is through amtrak it appeared to make sense to put it here.
At the end of the day, I am trying to decide if it would be better to do BOS - NYP - ACE with the ACES line or just do BOS - PHL - ACE on standard NJT scheduled service between 30th Street STation and Atlantic City.
