You are talking about two different issues.

No one said wait on the platform.

OP said:

>If you are going where the line is you are in the wrong place. Use the lower concourse to board.

There are 5-8 stair/escalators onto each platform. There is no reason for everyone to wait at the one in the center of the new building.

You can still wait at the other 7 for everyone to get off before going down

NJT 8th ave waiting area (old Amtrak) has the most seating, 10 or so urinals, 5 stalls.

Amtrak tells you to arrive a full hour early if you have a bag.

>When should I arrive at the station?

>Unless you're taking the Auto Train, plan to arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled departure. If you need assistance with baggage and/or ticketing, we recommend you arrive 60 minutes early.
