Why didn't you just book it and print it on the QuikTrack? That is what I did the last time I winged a Acela - LSL - Empire loop. I barely had time tog et the ticket and head down to catch the LSL since the Accela had kindly arrived late into BBY.I got into Back Bay a little early, but with Wifi spotty on the Acela I couldn't book a Lake Shore Limited trip. Did it via Julie in Back Bay (since that station also lacks the Wifi amenity) with the noise of announcements interrupting us, and then finally got it from the Quik Trak with minutes to spare. Nice ride on #449 BBY-WOR, and I'm now at Worcester Union Station awaiting my MBTA commuter train back to Boston. Interestingly, Worcester DOES have Wifi in the station, which makes this message possible; in fact the whole town is wired.

The machine would not let me do it. The program has changed since they went to e-ticketing, and I was unable to find any way of creating a new trip on the fly without it being reserved first.Why didn't you just book it and print it on the QuikTrack? That is what I did the last time I winged a Acela - LSL - Empire loop. I barely had time tog et the ticket and head down to catch the LSL since the Accela had kindly arrived late into BBY.

If you really think it's torture, I implore you go visit the front desk staff in your hotel, or a visitors bureau, so you can get suggestions of other events taking place in the city that can make the trip you made worthwhile by finding things to do that are less torturous than riding trains with friends.tomorrow the torture err i mean the fun starts lol.
