Having never traveled on Amtrack, is it necessary to make reservations and pruchase tickets prior to a day trip from NYC to Philadelphia? We will be doing a day trip at the end of Sept on a Sunday or Monday. Also, which day would be better for trian travel and seeing the historical sights.I%26#39;ve only traveled on trains in the UK and that was several yrs ago.
Amtrak from NYC Reservations
Reservations are not 100% necessary but recommended, especially if you are considering Acela service or business class, they tend to fill up early. I%26#39;d book early, better safe then sorry.
As to which day, in general, I%26#39;d say things are much less crowded on a Monday, with that said make sure you check hours on whatever items you may be interested in.
Amtrak from NYC Reservations
If you are traveling in the morning, it is suggested that you make reservations (especially if that is the time that you are heading back up to NYC, as there are many monthly riders on these trains).
Mondays and Fridays are the busiest business travel days of the week for Amtrak on the Northest Cor. route.
I use to do quite a bit of business travel on Amtrak and I%26#39;d make the reservation, the trains to NYC get quite crowded.
