I live I’m Palmer and have watched the Vermonter pass thru here for years and it was never made a station stop even though the train sits for a least ten minutes. I thought amtrak was in the business of providing passenger service and increasing ridership. I personally would like to be able to board the train in Palmer and be able to go to Washington . As for u mass it’s located in Amherst where the Vermonter stops now so those people will now have to go to Northampton to board so, ridership might decrease. Only the taxi and bus line will make more money.
