#2“More seats: 27% more seats per departure”
I think trains are cool. I hope this train doesn’t feel like a budget airline that has no leg room.

#5Finally! I saw these new trains stationed at Philadelphia Train Station. They're beautiful. I just wished they could operate at real high speed throughout the NEC.

#6I'm surprised it didn't mention the time to get between NYC and DC. Anyone know?

Seems like the train set is around 30 feet longer and has more (maybe shorter) cars than the Acela express.
It'd be nice to see the distribution to know if there are some other efficiencies with relation to total length (shorter power cars) or internally (better seat distribution, maybe less first class...). Haven't looked much around, so maybe it's easy to get that info.

"make railways great again" is a little easier to pronounce as an initialism
but you've got an internal rhyme in your version, so idk

#9What is "5G-enabled Wi-Fi"? Does that just mean the train receives its connectivity via 5G and broadcasts Wi-Fi?

I think this is because of adding an additional car in each trainset, rather than squishing seats together.
Acela Express has 8 cars, while the new Avelia Liberty is 9.
