A lot of college students buy tickets months in advance to get good prices. Now is the time they are starting to look at pricing for returning for Spring 2015 term. Amtrak not having a plan to offer service has to be hurting revenue.Vermonter tickets are available for Spring 2015, just not for the stations yet to be built. Better to hold off selling tickets until sure that the service will be running through and stopping at the station. Students can book from Springfield and plan to take a bus. If the train starts as planned, buy a fill in ticket from Northampton (or Holyoke or Greenfield) to Springfield or modify the reservation, whichever is more cost effective.
