What is the nearest amtrak station near harvard university?
I am looking into Amtrak as a vacation option and from what I've seen i think ill go somewhere else. I was looking on their site i noticed that they didn't have a customer reviews section so i was sent searching google for answers. I found that most if not all the reviews said that the trains were always late (sometimes over a day and a half) and the customer service is nothing better than highway robbery. Some people were even forced to pay for a meal twice. TWICE!!!!!!!!!!! People who paid for first class tickets were treated like refugees. Some spent the night in a filthy lounge. No employee even said sorry for all they setbacks, delays, mistakes, and rude service. A number of people filed complaints and still haven't gotten a response. Take a plane. Its faster and better service even though it is horrible.

Reply:Back Bay may be closer but it is better if you just hope on the Red Line at Harvard and take it to South Station. Pointless to get off at downtown crossing just to switch to the Orange line it would take more time.





Take the Red Line to South Station thats the smarter thing to do.





To the last question Amtrak is great I have taken them many times. This so called first class you speak of is on acela and that is the only problemed train they have problems with.





I just took Amtrak last month to NJ then back here to Boston 2 weeks later. When it was time to go home my train was late due to delrailment, but Amtrak quickly fixed it and had acela make a special stop in NJ and pick us up. We did not get charged extra. All we had to do was get off at pen station in NYC and there was a train for the passangers of the 82 and 88 trains waiting for us. They made a special train for us. Since it was a sold out train they actually gave the people who purchases a business class ticket their money back.





The staff were extremely sorry and wicked friendly.





To the person below me unless you have taken Amtrak before then you don't know what your talking about. I have taken it since I was in college a long time ago and I only had 2 problems with them which both were solved in a quick and friendly manner. I understand you read comments that said they were horrible but you have never taken Amtrak, you have only read other people's complaints. Why not try taking a trip on Amtrak first before making a comment.





I say take Amtrak they are the BEST!!!!!
Reply:As the crow flies Back Bay Station is actually a little closer than South Station.
