"BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - Vermont is on track to receive federal funding as the state considers an Amtrak expansion.
A million dollars could be the ticket to the Ethan Allen Express adding stops in Manchester and Bennington. The Vermont Agency of Transportation says this plan is in the very early stages and this initial funding is to study how expansion could happen.
Town leaders in the impacted areas say it would be a win for their communities..."

I think having half the trips take the southern route and half take the northern route would be an excellent strategy.
Combine that with a dedicated Bennington to St. Albans commuter line and you'd have an excellent system.
