??buying a train ticket question, help....??

Question

is it cheaper to buy a train ticket in advance online..or buying it at the station the day of or a few days before cheaper?

and if you buy it online how do you get the ticket? is it an e-ticket thingy or do they send it in the mail?

Answer 1

If you are referring to Amtrak, they will mail you the ticket after you make your reservations on line.  I don't think there is a difference in the price, however, I'm not sure about that because I've always ordered my tickets on line.  I've never noticed anything on their website noting a difference in the prices one way or the other. .

Answer 2

What train line (what city)?

Good Luck...
