Amtrak<\/a> is adding more trains to its schedule along the busy Northeast Corridor, owing to major strides in ridership after pandemic setbacks between 2020 and 2022.<\/p>\n

This week the rail operator launched four additional weekday round trips between Moynihan Train Hall<\/a> at New York Penn Station and Union Station in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

It’ll mean more trains and more seats between the two major East Coast hubs, and along the critical corridor that stretches from Washington to Boston.<\/p>\n

Amtrak is also adding an additional weekday morning departure from Philadelphia to New York.<\/p>\n

Altogether, it’s a 20% spike in weekday capacity along the corridor, Amtrak said.<\/p>\n

“More people are taking the train than ever before and we’re proud to offer our customers additional travel options,” Amtrak Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Eliot Hamlisch said in a statement<\/a> announcing the news.<\/p>\n
