Thanks. Do you know if it works on the Accela from Bos to NY.

Doesn't seem to work Albany to Croton-Harmon, I guess that is not NE Corridor .

Thanks all. Will be using this for an upcoming trip!

Just did my first "train" trip last week form Williamsburg,VA to Atlantic City, NJ. I must say I was impressed. For me, it took about 1 hour longer as opposed to driving and the cost was approx. the same (gas, tolls) but the ride was more relaxing. The Amtrak part (had to switch to NJ Transit in PHY) was a smoother ride than the car and I didn't need to worry about the perveribal DC traffic mess.

All of my to and from was "on time", but in talking to other passangers that usually is not the case. Anyone have experience with "late" trips? % of lates? Can money be saved traveling "off peak" hours? Are these discount codes seasonal? Thanks.

Thanks for the H535 code! Just modified my Thanksgiving tix NYC to DC and got the 25% discount...much better than my AAA fare. FYI, calling their 800 number and speaking with an agent, Amtrak will adjust previously purchased tix!

why not take one of those chinese buses?

Can you pls provide more info on chinees bus? I need to travel from Los Angeles to San Francisco on Dec 30.. Wondering what are my options.. Looks like Amtrak takes more than 10 hours to reach , by car it takes only ~6.5 hrs ..
Any ideas/tips are appreciated.. TIA..

Still working, see summary.

As far as the Chinatown buses - it's a great option for DC/NYC/Boston, as it's far cheaper than Amtrak, even with these discounts. Especially if you're going to downtown NYC anyway - most people don't understand that midtown and downtown are miles apart - if you're going uptown that may affect your decision. Google on your cities and Chinatown bus to see the options. Normally nicer than Greyhound.

Oh well looks like its AAA 10% discount for me.
I don't think there are any codes that would work between Dec 16 - Jan 2
