In this day in age, honestly, most people take advantage of the mobile app or the web site/e-mail feature. They just scan the QR code from the e-mail and that's it. I thought I did read in an earlier press release that Amtrak was to have a Quik-Trak machine at GCT, but I didn't seen one today (and I walked all around). What is weird is that due to ticket windows renovations, Metro-North ticketing is now using the "New Haven" windows. There were only 3 of them open. Most MN passengers just opt for the ticket machines.
I took advantage of some guest rewards points and booked a trip for today, last night, up to Poughkeepsie and back. The pre-boarding line at Track 24 got pretty long for my 10:15am departure, so they let us board early. There was Amtrak and MTA staff there at the gate. They were shocked at how long the line got, stretching back towards the cross-cut passage from Graybar to Lexington by Hudson News.
Going, we had one of the P32s with a nose door. On the way back (242), we had a P32 with a MARC cab car leading, and came into GCT (er.... NYG) right in the middle of the PM rush.
Pics, if interested are here.
