The ace of trains: Luxury train service for the East Coast

New Jersey, United States – Slow travel seems the ideal antidote for those who are fed up of waiting around in terminals and who want the journey to be part of the travel experience. A luxury train service, Aces (Atlantic City Express Service) opens in February and will take fans of the slowtopian form of travel from New York to Atlantic City – opening a new route of escape from the busy city. Run by Amtrak, the service costs $400 (£280) upwards for a ticket.
