I don't see much of a market for Philly to Springfield. DC, maybe. And it wouldn't be a three-seat ride, just two, from points south of NYC/NYP. Transfer at Stamford or New Haven cross-platform. Remember, CT wants to shrink the time it takes to get to/from NYC from points east, and a Regional, with less stops than a commuter train, can do that from Springfield, whether its NYG or NYP. And NYG might be preferable.New Haven to New York is roughly 2 hours. Add that to the 1h30m of the Hartford Line... 3h30. Same length as the Keystones. Do the Keystones swap staff in Philly by any chance? Because I can see extending the Hartford into NYG. If people want a single seat to DC, they can get on the Vermonter.
