Valid points.
Would be much easier and much more convenient for UNH students, who can walk a short distance from their residence halls to the train station.
I could also see this service being popular with folks in Exeter, Dover, and Wells. Sure, they would still have to drive to their respective train stations... but then they can get on the train, and start eating/drinking/WiFi-ing for the trip to Bethel. I've driven from Wells to Bethel and it's a long, boring drive that feels like an eternity.
Unfortunately none of this answers the time-honored question of how do we get Bostonians and their money onto the train.
