NNEPRA May Board Meeting

 

The NNEPRA board met Monday, May 23rd, to review the latest Downeaster performance numbers.

 

Ridership: Now that the roadbed is in tip-top shape, ridership shows continued growth since October of last year, save for January, 2016. A similar trend for revenue was reported.

 

On Time Performance: 89%

 

Overall Customer Satisfaction:  March Downeaster: 91, Amtrak: 85

 

Brunswick Layover Facility: Special Projects Manager Jim Russell reported on the continued progress at the BLF, "We are on schedule for a September opening." The NNEPRA Board was then treated to a video tour of the faciity when Trainriders/Northeast board members were escorted around the site.

I trust that an announced date of September of this year for the Brunswick Layover Facility means that we will see more trips added north of Portland up to Brunswick.  I would also guess that any more trips to Brunswick will be effective with the October Downeaster timetable change, the same time that the Old Orchard Beach station stop is eliminated for the season.
