It's not a bad idea in theory. If NJT ever took over passenger service to Butler, I'd do one at Charlotteburgh for Route 23 traffic. But it's not their style. Maybe they'd do it.
I also have a feeling that this Phase 1 to Bloomsbury will seal the fate of Phase2 to Phillipsburg or A/B/E unless NRPC wanted A/B/E. At least the ye olde maps of the catchment area of Trenton and Hamilton stations showed the viability of Interstate connectivity towards Pennsylvania and throngs of South Jersey.
