Amtrak Boston Stamford recent customer reviews

Massive delays. Minimal information. Trains that were scheduled after mine, and were delayed managed to to depart before mine. After calling and explaining to CS that due to the massive delays I would be missing my connecting ride and needed to go to Penn Station rather than disembark at the originally planned Stamford, there was no offer to discount or comp that additional fare from Stamford to NY.

I enjoyed the trip. Everyone was polite and helpful, from the ticket agent, to the bag handler, to the guy who checked for tickets. I had a number of questions along the way, and people were pleasant and accurate.
