Bayrunner shuttle runs van service between BWI and Western Maryland/Eastern Shore. They stop at the the Cumberland Amtrak station, the BWI Amtrak station and the Baltimore Greyhound station. I think they can be booked as a Thruway service connecting at the BWI Rail Station.

It seems like they're vans, which would not be my favorite choice for a 2-4 hour trip from BWI to the extremes of eastern and western Maryland.
 
Some interesting angles in this article about how a challenge to service conditions affect pasengers' real lives and transportation options.

It looks like the city is, rhetorically, shooting back at Greyhound about their need to abandon the station, while simultaneously negotiating with Amtrak. The national passenger rail service appears to be on board about sharing Union station, from what the article now implies.

In a statement, Chicago Chief Operating Officer John Roberson said:

"The Johnson Administration continues, as it has over these past months, to work with Greyhound and other stakeholders to find a viable solution for intercity bus services and its passengers in downtown Chicago. While we have looked at a number of different options, it should be noted that Greyhound has an option to renew its lease at its current Harrison Street location under the same terms and conditions that it currently operates under.

"The City has had productive conversations with Amtrak, which has agreed to work in partnership to solve Greyhound's problem of providing a clean and safe terminal facility for intercity bus passengers. These conversations are ongoing, and the City continues to work in close partnership with Amtrak and other stakeholders on a long-term comprehensive solution for travelers and Chicagoans."
