I'm on the brink of canceling my Acela "Value Fare" tickets on my BOS-NYP and return trip. Amtrak states that fare has refundability options and I'm seeing that the Business class value fare is eligible for a full refund to original payment when canceling 15 days or more, which is the case, but...

Exactly! I just got off the phone with an AGR agent and explained that the revised booking won't work for us because of the connections and I wanted to cancel without incurring a fee. She told me there wouldn't be one since Amtrak was the one that canceled. So I'm happy to get a full refund but...

The first Acela is 5:05 am and I really didn't want to do that early train. The real issue may be the trip back because the Silver Star doesn't arrive in NYP until 7:10P and the last NEC train of the evening leaves around 7:50P and knowing how notoriously late the Silver Line is, I don't feel...

Oh well! It's a pipedream I guess. I was just thinking if the train were to leave a bit earlier.

Damn! That would have been perfect for our revised late arrival on the Silver Star. I really wish Amtrak would at least change the Silver Star schedule to an earlier time of the day. Maybe use the schedule that the Silver Meteor had. o_O

Thank you. I can change the BOS-NYP and NYP-BOS segments myself since there are no change fees up until 4/30. I don't know what they could do for me at this point because it's all about changing NEC connections dates and times. It also adds more expense since I will need overnights in NY both ways.

I just received my revised eticket this morning now switched to the Silver Star for an 11:02 am departure. I'm so upset by this because my train from Boston doesn't arrive in NYP until 10:47 am. I booked the BOS-NYP separately to give us more time for connection and it also affects our trip...
