Questions about Newark Airport Station
Greetings. For the first time I'll be arriving in Newark and continuing by train from the Newark Airport Amtrak station. Apologies in advance for these rookie questions.
1. I am scheduled to arrive at 5:30 pm into Terminal A (all luggage is carry on). My train departs at 6:47 pm. Is that a risky connection?
2. Does the Newark Airport Amtrak station have any amenities (food or WiFi available for example)?
3. I am traveling to Philadelphia - is that train likely to have food on board for sale (travel time is 65 minutes).
4. How good do you think the WiFi will be on the train?
Many thanks.

Unless it closed, there used to be a limited service Dunkin’ Donuts at the rail station which had a few food choices. Otherwise I agree with what is above, the WiFi ranges from useless to sort of OK. I always use my own hotspot.
this will give you an idea of what is for sale in the onboard cafe car: https://www.amtrak.com/content/dam/p...enu-061318.pdf
