Anyone have reviews of the Amtrak trains between Bos-NYC? Northeast regional vs Acela?

Off chance anyone’s looking to sell an Amtrak voucher at a discount? 😂

Smooth sailing - much better than bus. Travel time Acela is often only marginally shorter than the regional

Often is a strong overstatement - in my 200+ rides that has been true once

Done both, super easy, bar on board, great way to travel. Agreed Acela is better than the regional but honestly not by a ton, although the price would suggest otherwise.

Amtrak is the best. Like the same amount of time. If you are not paying for it the Acela is better, but the original is great as well.

All of the above - Amtrak rocks

FWIW: I have taken the train to NYC on Friday mornings a few times and I am able to work and attend meetings (not ones where I have to present or talk) using the free wifi.

Thanks for the reviews! Looking for a last minute one for Friday and prices are roughly the same for both rn. $100-125 even for coach on the northeast regional

Acela is nice but the cafe car on the ne regional is unparalleled. Sit on the side facing the water and you get a table and great views for a part of the trup

You can get tickets so cheaply ($40) if you’re able to plan ahead. Wifi is good too

Hello all, i have. A question regarding compensation for a lateral move. I just received a job offer for an UA position from a competing cyber insurance carrier for $70,000 + bonuses. This job will be based out of San Francisco. I currently make $30/hour for the same role in Chicago, after OT it’s about $60,000. Do you think it would be wise to accept the offer? Thoughts in general?
