   Unfortunately, sometimes it is hard to find a seat if a NEC   
   train is long and crowded and you board at an intermediate   
   point.  You might board at the first car and an available   
   seat might be in the seventh car.   
      
   The plus side of all reserved is that usually you get a seat,   
   not always possible before in heavy times.  The down side is   
   that you are locked into your reservation and purchase and   
   it's a pain--and big expense--to change it.  It's very common   
   for someone to finish their day early and want to take an   
   earlier train than planned, but with reserved it's very hard.
