I really hate the new eTicket policy on-board.

On the Northeast Regional, the conductors scan your ticket every time they do a crew change. In the case of trains 66 and 67, they will wake you up for that. They advertise those two trains as red-eye trips where you can sleep on the train and wake up at your destination. That won't happen if you can't sleep! What's the point of using seat checks if they're going to re-scan your ticket every 200 miles or so? They didn't do this back in the day with paper tickets!

Every NE Regional train I have been on since the eTicketing went live has done this. I asked a conductor about it and they said it's the policy now.

I'm very pissed off and disappointed in this new system. I will never take 66/67 again since I will never get any sleep.
