Yes, when originally planned it would have been intermodal, having the bus station from Albany moved over to it as well as being a train station. But currently it is a train station only, it isnt intermodal when there is only one mode. Being on the CDTA buslines doesnt make it intermodal. Is there a ferry, airport, subway, or other connection directly at the train station that I'm not aware of?[[User:Camelbinky|Camelbinky]] ([[User talk:Camelbinky|talk]]) 22:34, 13 January 2009 (UTC) |

I initially saw that the station had been renamed in October 2023 [https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/rennselaer-train-station-now-joseph-l-bruno-rail-18407187.php per this source], hence an initial [[WP:BOLD|bold move]]. But after it was redirected back, a discussion is more appropriate than a move war. Suggestions?

*'''Oppose''': It is common for rail stations and other infrastructure to be ceremonially named. The vast majority of the time, the [[WP:COMMONNAME|common name]] doesn't change. No evidence has been supplied that the common name has changed. Amtrak still uses "Albany–Rensselaer" on their websites with no mention of the ceremonial name.

*'''Oppose''' for all of the reasons noted by [[User:Pi.1415926535|Pi.1415926535]]. We can talk about it some more if/when Amtrak changes the name. [[User:FFM784|FFM784]] ([[User talk:FFM784|talk]]) 01:03, 6 August 2024 (UTC) |

Old Station isn't the old station
[edit]That picture that says Old Station is actually the Old Rensselaer station which is now Amtrak office space, the Old Albany station is actually across the river downtown.MartinDuffy (talk) 18:01, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
- Whatever. As far as Amtrak's early riders were concerned, this was the Albany station. Daniel Case (talk) 21:31, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
Inter-modal?
[edit]Yes, when originally planned it would have been intermodal, having the bus station from Albany moved over to it as well as being a train station. But currently it is a train station only, it isnt intermodal when there is only one mode. Being on the CDTA buslines doesnt make it intermodal.
