Re: when you book, for the East Coast trains time of day matters greatly. If you book a train from NYC to Philadelphia on Dec 9, there are four trains leaving before 6am with coach tickets for $10. NYC to Boston has similar early morning prices. | ||

Right. I'm not going to NYC for now but I saw the end-of-year sale in my inbox recently. Pricing varies a lot. (And I usually don't book Acela on my own dime absent a bargain; the transit time isn't much different from the regional.) | ||
