If there were a first class car (or portion of a first class car) that was a quiet car or quiet zone, I'd book first-class tickets much more often than I do.
Curious as to others' thoughts, and how much more revenue Amtrak might gain if the new Acelas and new Northeast Regional trains had first class (or business class on Northeast Regional trains) that was also a quiet area.
Thanks.
Agreed. But alas, it's not going to happen,
That being said, there's at least one FC crew that announces no speaker calls, and to keep phone conversations at a low level.
Sometimes it's the well-imbibed business group on PM trains talking and laughing so loudly they can be heard in the quiet car
