Amtrak in May 2021 will begin to restore daily service for 12 long-distance routes suspended last year in during the pandemic. The routes will be restored in three phases from late May to early June, according to Amtrak. Pending President Biden’s signature on the final Covid-19 relief legislation, passed by the House and Senate in the past week, Amtrak said it will restore operations and recall more than 1,200 furloughed employees through the reminder of the 2021 and 2022 fiscal years.
