Reply to comment by DrToadley in My proposal for near-future inter-town/city passenger rail expansions in Vermont! (MAP) by DrToadley

I love to travel by train , and was so happy about the downeaster from Boston to Portland Maine when it actually happened. Taking trains all around Vermont would be so beautiful anytime of year

This is a great trip! My daughter and I took Dartmouth Coach to Boston to catch Amtrak for a weekend in Portland. Two things would have made it even better: the ability to readily get from South Station bus terminal to North Station, where the northern Amtrak departs, and the train station in Portland proper, vs. outside the city. I believe it used to be? Otherwise, a fun trip that Iā€™d do again.

Wish the Coach had a North Station stop! (Or better yet, if the MBTA ever built that North-South rail link...)

It's a hike but the walk between south and north Station is my welcome to Boston tour. Yes drinks are involved hence taking the train . šŸ˜‰
