For any of the shuttles to be extended into Vermont, more cars would have to be added to the Amtrak trains-probably at least five cars. Amtrak is short on Amfleet cars right now and they don't even have enough to make longer trainsets on the existing New Haven to Springfield shuttles. In the beginning, running a bus to and from Brattleboro connecting to the trains in Greenfield wouldn't be a bad idea. That would be like when Amtrak started running a bus connection to and from Lynchburg to Roanoke when the NE Regional started terminating in Lynchburg.
