For the first time since March of 2020, CTrail has added back seven daily round trips on its Hartford Line route.
The restored commute schedule took effect this morning.
CTrail sharply curtailed service during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, when many Connecticut residents were urged to stay home and work remotely if possible. Now, 16 months later, most occupancy and travel restrictions have been lifted, and commuters are gradually returning to rail transport options.
The Hartford Line runs between New Haven and Springfield, making stops in Windsor Locks, Windsor, Hartford, Berlin, Meriden and Wallingford.
Passengers are still required to wear masks on trains and in stations until further notice.
