Reply to comment by CGmoz in East-West Rail would give an economic boost to Worcester and Central MA, experts say by HRJafael

Ah, misread thinking it was a commuter rail extension. That doesn't change TOO much at the end of the day, except opening the possibility for insufficient frequency or tickets being priced out of usefulness.

This is primarily my concern. This whole project is wholly reliant on Amtrak service. My concern would be for the future if the state decided to build the rail and Amtrak drops the service if the financials don't turn out as expected. I'm curious to see what the backup plan is should Amtrak service fail.
