Amtrak Northeast Regional

Pros: Convenient, relaxing, comfortable, good value, nice staff. Cons: The seat tray for my seat did not come down all the way. I was never able to change seats because the train was full. The passenger right behind me was listening to loud funk music without using earphones. This went on for the entire time the passenger was on the train. The person sitting next to me was obviously agitated by the music. Several conductors passed through and no one every asked the passenger to use headphones or turn off/turn down the music. Tips: Bring wipes to wipe down the seat tray and sometimes the arms. Your cell phone hot spot will be more effective than the onboard WiFi.
