GREATER SPRINGFIELD – A new train service from Greenfield to Springfield is expected to begin soon and will offer Pioneer Valley residents a new way to get around.
The Valley Flyer train, which will be run by Amtrak, is slated to begin service on Aug. 30 and will offer stops in both Northampton and Holyoke. From Springfield, riders will be able to go on to stops in Connecticut and even New York City via the CT Rail if they so choose. However, if a rider would choose to do that, they would need to purchase an additional ticket at Union Station.
