The new Depot Square Station in Holyoke, MA (Station code HLK) opens this week on Thursday, August 27th.
There is an official ribbon cutting ceremony at 12:30 PM at the station site. Details on this link:

The first scheduled Amtrak departures out of Holyoke will be:
SB Train 55 at 1:45 pm
NB train 56 at 3:49 pm
The SB train (55) has been running 18 minutes late (on average) out of Northampton in August so its doubtful that this train will be on-time on Thursday, but I guess miracles can happen.
The NB train usually arrives in Northampton about 10 minutes early so if it departs Springfield on-time it will surely be early into Holyoke.
Two questions:
Is this the first scheduled Amtrak service to call on Holyoke?
When did the B&M end passenger service to/from Holyoke?
