Hi! I understand this is not an official Amtrak site, but looking to see if anyone has any helpful tips!
I recently received my rail travel privilege card and am looking to book a trip. I know that I can only reserve a seat on the Acela trains an hour prior to their departure for a price of $10 (as long as the train does not completely fill). I am curious if anyone knows how often these trains reach full capacity? Are there certain days of the week they definitely reach full capacity over others? I know to reserve this train I will have to drive to the station and figure it out once I get there since calling has me sitting on hold for an hour.
I appreciate any input!
