Well cool! My brother takes Amtrak from Philly to Bangor and always has to get on a bus in Boston

It’s because the Downeaster stops/starts at North station. If you want to take Amtrak further you have to find your way to South station and go from there. Probably just as easy for your brother to hop the bus at South station.

Yah you can take the T between the two but last I remember (like ten years ago) the T stop isn’t actually in North Station either, it’s a block or so away.

he takes the Concord line bcuz he doesn't buy a ticket, transfer to the other Boston station and take the Downeaster. it's not for everyone.

the Concord line is vastly more convenient.
