[quote user="blue streak 1"] There are unconfirmed reports that some Downeasters are having  standees or seatings on floor.  Does anyone have any confirmation ?  These people seem to be commuters on discounted multi ride tickets.  Another item is that there are many New Hampshire persons on the trains.  Maybe tiime for NH to pony up any maybe pay for rebuilding of some coaches ?  Any thoughts ? [/quote] The average load factor on the Downeasters during FY12 was 38.5 per cent. Unless there has been a big jump in ridership this year, the reports of standing room only, if accurate, probably are one-offs. Train #680, which arrives in Boston at 7:50 a.m., appears to be the only train that would be suitable for commuting.  It could have standing room only. The next train, Number 682, which arrives in Boston at 10:30 a.m. is even a bit late for bankers and lawyers.   The first train to Portland, Number 681, does not arrive in Portland until 11:40 a.m.  It is not likely to draw a lot of commuters.
