It looks like the two options for a carless trip from Manhattan to Block Island are 1) the Amtrak to the New London ferry or 2) the LIRR to the Montauk ferry. Anyone have thoughts on which route is faster/easier/more generally enjoyable? Or are they about the same?
best train/ferry route from nyc to block island?
The key to a successful trip on Amtrak to New London is to make sure the ferry schedule leaves enough time for the train to be a bit late. My son who goes to college in Manhattan once cell phoned me from the Amtrak train that the train was going to be late and he thought he was going to miss the last ferry (the rest of us were already on Block Island) and I actually telephoned the ferry people who refused to delay the departure of the ferry to allow the train time to arrive. As it turned out, there were many passengers for the ferry and my son who bolted from the train as soon as it pulled into the station was able to walk on the ferry as the very last passenger and so he was not stranded in New London overnight without a car.
I don%26#39;t know anything about the LIRR to Montauk ferry.
