Greetings everyone,
Many thanks to everyone who answered my recent questions regarding the Philadelphia Amtrak station.
But I have a couple of questions about booking a ticket on the Acela, from NYC Penn Station to Philadelphia.
A friend of mine and some of his colleagues at work are attending a conference in Philly and will be taking the 7:00am Acela out of BYC Penn on Feb. 9, 2011.
They have not yet bought their tickets or made reservations yet.
Although I have ridden many Amtrak trains, both LD and NE regionals, I have never ridden the Acela. My friend (not a regular or frequent Amtrak rider) seems to think they will have no problem getting their Acela tickets a day or so before their trip.
Does the Acela fill up usually or sell out?
If it were me, I would reserve my ticket asap.
Anyone ride this particular train?
Should my friend book his ticket right away?
Thanks in advance!
Bill
