I purchased seats in coach on palmetto 89 train, is this going to be comfortable, will i have a plug for charger. What is biggest difference between coach and business seting on this train.
Up to $60. Seats are about all the same size. Pitch between rows can be a bit better in BC plus you get a newspaper, mini sodas, and coffee.I purchase seats in coach on palmetto 89 train, is this going to be comfortable, will i have a plug for charger.

That maybe so. But I have been on the Carolinian and the Palmetto 8 times over the last two years and each time the Business Class service was provided by an Amfleet I BC car. That of course doe not prove anything. Just conveying what my personal experience has been.It's rare for an Amfleet I BC to be assigned. It happens occasionally on the Carolinian too.
What it proves is that I should ride when you ride. It's a real bummer to get stuck in a 72-seater sold as BC on the Carolinian, and I have those t-shirts.That maybe so.

When I rode the Palmetto from NYP-RVR this past November the RVR pax were in an AF-II and North Carolina pax were in an AF-I.Another thing to take into consideration in seat assignments is final destination, irrespective of short or long. I've noticed that crews will often attempt to seat all pax going to a certain stop in the same or adjoining car. This works best for both the coach attendant and the train crew when the station has a short platform. They don't have to open all doors, plus passengers aren't shlepping several cars to find the open door. Just one more variable to consider I guess.
I'm pretty sure of this but others may correct me. If you get a 72 seat coach try to switch cars when you arrive in DC. There should be 6 seats available. The conductors will remove all of the seat checks in all of the cars upon arrival in DC and the new Crew that takes control in DC will ask to see all tickets. They will not know where you were sitting. It's worth a try.thanks, I am getting on in Philly and off in Florence SC, didn't want to upgrade because traveling with kids so bought six tickets. but looks like might have a decent trip if attendents put us in a good car. still beats a minivan for 11 hrs.
