I found F-Line to be focusing my attention on two things:
1) That the T has right of first refusal on any new passenger service in PAR territory (NH)
2) That the T has even stronger rights Lowell-Boston (on its own territory)
So that NH will need a very T-compatible operator, which, as a practical matter, would end up being the T or Amtrak
And Concord - Boston is about 75 miles and 93 minutes (IIRC from the 2013/14 study),
For comparison, Wickford Junction is 53 miles and Kingston will be 65 miles.
