Hi;
I am planning a SOBO trek on the AT for the fall. I will be starting at Hanover NH and finishing at Pawling NY.
I am going to need a ride from the Amtrak station to the trail in Hanover.
I see that there are a number of taxi services in the area. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks

Arden

Great fares - but VT Transit has only one bus from Lebanon to Hanover, and it's an afternoon. My train will arrive at WRJ at 6:15pm (if it's on-time... ha ha). I also checked the AdvanceTransit website. Looks like I'll be too late for that one as well.
I am probably going to need to make a stop at EMS in Lebanon for my stove fuel - unless I decide to break the law and carry it with me on the train :cool:. Amtrak prohibits such items, but I think that, unless there is a heightened security alert, I stand an excellent chance of getting the Iso-Pro gas on the train.
I recall a trip to Essex Jct VT on Amtrak. There were taxis waiting when the train arrived.
