Why you should never travel on Acela Express

Oh please, Acela is a joke. I would avoid Acela simply for the annoyingly loud "ding" sound when you approach a station. The difference in time between NY and DC was about a half hour compared to the standard Amtrak. Great post, thank you.

And don't give me that "it says in the timetable" stuff. The point of this is to give you a review of how the service worked. It could have been possible that somehow the extra $60 was a good investment. But this post informs me otherwise. It does a service and doesn't need scrutiny like that.

Pay the same coin and get business class on regular Amtrak. Far more comfortable and not nearly as annoying.
