Or maybe you had a sense of déjà vu and asked yourself two questions: “Haven’t I heard this promise before?” (yes) and “Should I believe this promise, delivered in an election year?” In fact it was in 2019 that Governor Lamont promised us a 30 minute train ride from New Haven to Stamford. And Connecticut’s supposed “90 mph” trains… they’ll achieve that for a three mile straight stretch between Stratford and Bridgeport, but almost nowhere else. DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE: This project is important and I hope it gets built even if it takes longer and costs more than what’s being promised now.
