I was just looking at some NEC fares when I noticed a service alert. I clicked on it and it said that the newspapers in Acela FC and regional BC would be eliminated starting August 17. In their place, customers will have full access to the digital versions of these papers through amtrak connect.
Here is the full notice:
Free Digital Newspapers for Business Class and First Class Passengers Aboard Select Amtrak TrainsEffective August 17, 2015Starting August 17, 2015, Business class and First class passengers will have free unlimited access to The New York Times and The Washington Post digital newspapers while traveling aboard the following Amtrak trains:
Acela Express
Maple Leaf
Carolinian
Northeast Regional
Downeaster
Palmetto
Empire Service
Pennsylvanian
Ethan Allen Express
Vermonter
To access digital newspapers, visit the AmtrakConnect page, click on the entertainment tab, and choose either The New York Times or The Washington Post. Then, simply enter the access code located on a card in your seat back pocket. Acela Express passengers will not need a code to access digital newspapers. With the start of digital newspapers, hard copy newspapers will be discontinued aboard these trains.
Reservations and information is available on Amtrak.com, our free mobile apps and at 1-800-USA-RAIL (1-800-872-7245).
Thank you for traveling with Amtrak.
