I take the Keystone between Harrisburg (HAR) and Philadelphia (PHL) a fair amount. I like that there are several trains (roughly once per hour during weekdays).
I have often wondered about the feasibility of a limited Keystone service, just stopping at (say) HAR, Lancaster (LNC), and PHL, perhaps every other hour, or a few times per day. How much time would be saved? There is SEPTA service near Philadelphia, so (perhaps) it would not be an inconvenience for passengers using those stations, but would the quicker HAR - PHL service make up for any lost revenue from passengers wanting to use Middletown, Elizabethtown, Mount Joy, or other stations?
