Hello,
I noticed that an advanced purchase ticket on the Acela between BOS-NYP is $104 on the low bucket end, and sometimes you can get that fare on the same day of departure. If the fare is $104 on the day of departure is that a good indication that the train is not full or even close to being full? I have seen fares over $200 for the BOS-NYP segement. I was just wondering how Amtrak prices trains out, whether they base their fares on the number of seats left or how far in advance the purchase is made or a combination of both.
thanks,
