Amtrak New York City Philadelphia recent customer reviews

The delay was embarrassing. My wife starts work at 8am. She had to pick me up from the train station at 1:20am. We got home around 1:45am and she had to twist and turn a couple time before falling asleep around 3 am. And she woke up around 6:30am to get to get in time. The arrangement was poor and no one could even come to speak to us.

Amtrak was just what I needed and had I made a mistake or needed to cancel the restrictions were very acceptable.
