I'm travelling on an Amtrak Acela #train for the first time from DC to Boston. Very strange experience for a european:
- Everyone has to arrive >30mins in advance
- The train only cruises at ~100km/h half the time; often it just stops & waits.
- I saw my ticket was "Business Class" and asked if this meant I had priority boarding but was told: "No, business class is second class"... 🤷♂️
