Posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor FOR ALL 3 LINES!!! on Mon Feb 8 19:40:15 2010 From Trains Magazine News Wire......New London to get second daily commuter train Published: Thursday, February 04, 2010 NEW LONDON, Conn. — Amtrak will begin operating a second daily Stamford-to-New London, Conn., round trip on Feb. 16, Connecticut's The Day newspaper has reported. Gov. M. Jodi Rell announced the service expansion yesterday, part of the state's Shore Line East commuter service, which Amtrak operates under contract. The new train will leave New London at 5:53 a.m., arrive at New Haven at 7:03, and Stamford at 7:54. On its return trip, it'll depart Stamford at 4:46 p.m., arrive at New Haven at 5:42, and New London at 6:52. Rell said service would expand by four additional round trips later this year. But agitators for additional service said the announcement falls short of what's needed. "Call me back when they get train service to New London," said Todd O'Donnell, a member of the One More Stop coalition. "This is what we worked for? One more train?" |
