Users generally had a positive experience with Amtrak, appreciating the comfortable seats and helpful staff. The train's punctuality was also praised by many. However, some passengers noted issues such as small windows, cleanliness of bathrooms, lack of route information in Business Class, and inconsistencies in seat assignments by ticket checkers onboard.

Amtrak Boston New York recent customer reviews

What I missed most was the lack of information related to the route, places we passed by. I expected more from Business Class. For example some service, like a bottle of water. Except of the above, the journey was pleasant.

I enjoyed the efficiency.The train left right at the time on the schedule.Arrived as predicted. That is excellent .

Overall ok, although annoying that ticket checkers onboard allowed some people to sit in places that others got moved on from

Boston to New York Trains

There are a few different ways to travel between Boston and New York City, but one of the most convenient is by train. Taking the train can be a great way to see some of the views on the northeast corridor and also a relaxing way to travel.

Every day, an average of 29 trains go from Boston to NYC, and the main train stations on both ends are Boston South Station, Boston Bay Back Station and New York Penn Station.

Difference between Amtrak and Acela trains

Two types of trains run between Boston and NYC - the Acela Express and the Amtrak Regional.

Acela Express

The Acela Express is the fastest and most efficient way to travel between Boston and NYC, with journeys of around 3.5 hours and numerous departures every day. Though prices may be higher than Amtrak Regional, Acela is the best option to save time and avoid the hassles of airports and traffic.
