Amtrak New York City Boston recent customer reviews

The staff was very rude and not accommodating to it being freezing inside all carts. I was told I’m not special when I requested the air be lowered due to my medical condition. I would rather take a 7 hour bus ride than to sit through that train ride again.

We were stranded on the train for over 3 hours with no power, no functioning bathrooms, and hardly any food or water.

The soothing sounds of the train on tracks lulling me to sleep while there’s power conveniently placed near by to charge my devices.
