Amtrak and the Connecticut and Massachusetts state transportation departments this week announced the addition of two Northeast Regional trains to the Springfield-Hartford Line with direct service to Penn Station in New York City.
Amtrak’s Northeast Regional trains provide single-seat rides from Connecticut and Massachusetts to New York City’s Penn Station, Connecticut Department of Transportation officials said in a press release.
From Hartford to New York City, the ride takes less than three hours, with stops in New Haven, Bridgeport and Stamford. From Springfield, the ride takes about three-and-a-half hours.
Riders can expect the same amenities on the trains as they do on most Amtrak trains, including free Wi-Fi, small pet allowances and spacious seating, Massachusetts Department of Transportation officials said in a press release.
