In October 2015, VTrans said that service to Burlington would begin in three to four years. Service was expected to start in 2020 or early 2021, but was further delayed to spring 2022. When it starts, it is anticipated that the train will arrive in Burlington in the evening and depart in the morning. Middlebury has hired a consultant to study locations for its station, while Burlington hired a consultant to study where the train should be parked overnight. The train storage issue has been resolved with the decision to store trains overnight to the south of the station. The trains will be stored in the Vermont Rail System yard.
