May 3, 2021 GMT
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — L.L. Bean’s flagship store returned to 24-hour operations and Amtrak’s Downeaster resumed its full schedule on Monday, marking moves toward normalcy during the pandemic.
Amtrak’s expanded schedule includes a new southbound train which will depart Brunswick mid-morning and a new northbound train which will depart Boston mid-afternoon.
In Freeport, meanwhile, workers removed the locks Monday as L.L. Bean’s flagship store resumed around-the-clock sales.
The store had been operating on limited hours after Bean briefly closed all stores last year during the pandemic.
