Reply to comment by itsonlyastrongbuzz in AMTRAK from BOS to NY by unicynn

Agree with (1), but on (2) I personally find regular Northeast Regional (not business Northeast Regional) to be fine, mostly because I don’t care about an assigned seat or a free soda.

Assigned seats on the way down aren’t super important since the NE Regional starts at South Station and you have free reign… but assigned seats **are **nice for when you’re returning to BOS from NY and the train is already full with coming from DC/Philly, and you have to go hunting through a few cars for a seat, possibly facing backwards or next to the bathroom that smells like a hot morgue.

Assigned seat is just nice if you end up in a spot where seats are full ish and folks aren’t being smart… I once stood for like 45m before I could find a seat
