    Hi

    I want to take a train from Washington to New York In august.

    Would I be better to buy the ticket in advance, would it be cheaper or would it be okay to buy it when I land in Washington.

    Where is the best place to buyamtrak tickets or is there a choice of train companies you can use.

    Buying 'em direct from Amtrak is the best option, and buying online in advance will almost always be cheaper. There is no other option for that route except Amtrak; outside of a few parts of New England that are served by local transit authority commuter rail services, Amtrak is really the only passenger rail service in the lower 48 for intercity travel.

    When purchasing online in advance, have a look at the Acela Express Service. For a few dollars extra you get a quicker journey time and comfortable seating. Also if you have a lot of luggage think about using the Red Cap service. They put your bags on the train for you and get you seated before the rest of passengers. All done for tips of course.
