Well, I will tell you this:
If the new IMC get's those SEAT buses out of the middle of Norwich, I'm all for it! I can't see it's being anything but a major improvement over te current/old situation on Rt 12, with the buses congregating at the old Norwich train station.
NOW... if a rail connection can be established from NL to the casino, with service to NYC/NYP via AMTRAK as well as LIRR/Ferry service, we'll REALLY be getting someplace!
Personally, I'm all for ANY idea that can get as many of the huge-[bottomed] casino charter buses off of Rt 12 as possible.
Hopefully the service will be available also for casino employees to reach MoSun from Norwich and other points along the line.
IMHO, any "corridor plan" should include shorter-run service (a la SLE) service to SE CT points in order to take advantage of and make the most of the potential to alleviate traffic in the area.
I'm glad my current city is getting behind this. Let's hope other CT towns/cities can as well.
Perhaps we'll see NL/NOR/WOR service eventually as well.
