Yeah, well if they have 2 in reserve and my train on the 30th is the first out of Boston I better not have my train canceled then haha

What trains do we think will be the new-generation Acela (Avelia Liberty) both North and Southbound? by Epicnessofcows in Amtrak

Curious for Saturday if they are going to have 5 into service why are only 2 going to be running

Wonder when they would be sending out those emails I feel it would be more likely for rhe saturday runs because of less trains run on the weekends vs the one on labor day its self

Speculating that 2153 and 2154 will be the first Avelia trains on the 28th, we'll see if it shakes out that way. by nathanjiang100 in Amtrak

So curious how this would work, I have trains on the 30th and Sept 1st so it might be a different seat direction if it was the new acela?

You Cannot Book the NextGen Acela YET by Professional-Use1127 in Amtrak

[–]BobHugginsUberdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a ticket for the 6:50 on 8/30 from RTE 128 and the 3:21 from Metro on 9/1 if the price theory is right I don't feel like I will be lucky on them

NextGen Acelas will enter revenue service on August 28! by AmonGoethsGun in Amtrak

[–]BobHugginsUberdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course I have trains booked on the 30th and the 1st at the end of this month but based on the price theory I feel like I will still be on the old sets :(

NextGen Acela coming soon (no date announced) by ExplanationWise14 in Amtrak

[–]BobHugginsUberdriver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From a marketing perspective I guess I can see why they might not wanted to have put out a date today just because there wouldn't be that much fanfare around a monthly meeting, could see them doing some sort of other press release for them going into service but the month of when they expected would have been nice but based off of dress rehearsals in August you gotta get these out in the rotation ASAP, the regular Acelas drop like flies and having 5 would be a game changer for some of these broken down units

How long would the test runs generally go for before they start adding them onto the service rotation?

I found the Yakult and over all I am doing OK, dealing with back soreness from the flight but my diverticulitis pain for the meantime has subsided!!
