Amtrak service to Greenfield and Northampton
Amtrak has announced that its Vermonter service to the so-called knowledge corridor of Massachusetts will start on Monday, Dec. 29, with stops in Greenfield and Northampton, Mass. Tickets are available now for purchase. The Vermonter will also add a stop in Holyoke later in 2015, when station work is complete. The added stops will replace service provided to the Amherst station, which will end on Dec. 28.
The Vermonter operates daily between Washington, D.C., and St. Albans, Vt., with service to Philadelphia, New York City, Hartford, Conn., Springfield, Mass., Essex Junction, Vt., and other intermediate stops, including in the states of Maryland and New Jersey. Passengers can book travel through Amtrak.com, mobile apps, or by calling 800-USA-RAIL for any station along the route between Washington and St. Albans, Vt.
