Greetings:
We're doing a trip to Maine, and on the return we've managed to get the Downeaster into Boston (North Station). The transfer between there and Back Bay Station seems easy enough (MBTA line, I forget the color off the top of my head), but why has Amtrak actually included a TICKET between those stations? I had to check it twice, but there is indeed a ticket from Boston North to Boston Back Bay included in what they sent us. I don't see how it could be used on a subway-like operation . . . ?
Also, if we wanted to get on at Boston South Station with a Back Bay ticket (since it has a food court, first choice of seats, etc), does anyone think conductors would mind?
Thanks in Advance,
