Thank you jebr. There are two of us, so I am not worried now. I appreciate your thoughts.

Tomorrow We will be boarding train 66 from NPN to BOS. Our carry on items include : small roll on suitcase that I have used on an airplane, an LL Bean canvas tote bag for snacks and drinks, a small backpack instead of a purse, a small duffel bag ( within posted size limits, a computer bag, a...

This is my first trip on the Northeast Regional fromNPN to Boston. Does this mean that I will have to get off the train and take a bus during this trip? Thanks for the help everyone.

Thank you, Anderson.

I will be leaving my car at Newport News Amtrak on a Tuesday in August, taking the 66 train to Boston. If there are no spaces to park, what would happen? When I called Amtrak, the rep said "first come first served-- no guarantees." There is one train that leaves in the morning, and if the...

So my next worry is that there won't be a parking space in the Newport News lot, and we will not be able to board the train. Tuesday (August) night at 5:20 is the departure. How early should we get there? As far as I've looked, the only trains that day leave at 9 ish in the morning, and 5:20 in...

Thank you for the info, Triley. I appreciate your help.

Thanks, Acela150!

I have another question about the Amtrak station in Newport News. I have called the station, but I keep getting a recorded message to call the 1-800 for Amtrak. If I take train 66 on a Tursday, is it likely that parking spaces will be available for long term ? (Till Sat morning) also, will there...

Thanks, Triley!

I just changed my return from Boston to NPN to BC, and the fare had gone down a lot. Does anyone know the seating arrangement for business class on train 65 from Boston to Newport News? Thanks to all !

One other question about Boston. I made the reservation for South Street Station. We are staying at a hotel on the waterfront downtown. Is this the correct station for our hotel location? Thanks to all for your help.

Thanks, Acela ! I am really looking forward to this train trip. I wanted to take the Twilight Shoreliner many years ago to visit colleges in Boston, but we never got the chance. Excited for this trip no matter what type of seat we have!

Thank you Acela. I won't get my hopes up.

Hi, just changed to train 66 leaving Newport News at 5:20 instead of 94. All of a sudden prices were the same again! I am looking forward to BC and the 2x1 faux leather seats! Now to wait for BC price to go down a bit for return trip!

Well, you are correct about the price staying high on Friday from Boston. Does anyone ever book coach from Boston to , say NYC , and then move to BC when people depart NYC?

Thank you, Traveler. I would change to BC if the price wasn't so much, but someone on the phone at Amtrak said to find the quiet car immediately upon boarding in Boston. Just hoping to sleep a bit on the way home.

Hi Triley! Traveling north on Tuesday, and back south on Friday.

Hi! I'm not a guest anymore! So to continue my post, I have the reservations set up, and I am wondering which side of the train to sit on going north from Newport News to Boston. What about on the way back south, if we can't sleep in coach, it would be nice to see the cities as we go through. I...

Thanks everyone! Now, I'm just wondering if I lurk about on the Amtrak site, is it likely that the ticket price for the business class seat would go down closer to departure if reservations are cancelled? ( train 65) How likely is it that there will be seats in business class open upon...
