VRE station from Gainesville, VA (Manassas, Linton Hall: home, vs., shopping center)

[theBIGstep]

I was wondering what the best VRE station would be from Gainesville, VA. I saw there is a station for Bristow down Linton Hall and there is another station in Mannassas. Is one station better than the other? How long does it take to commute to from the beginning of Linton Hall Rd (where the shopping center is) Thanks!

Choose the Broad Run station. 15ish minutes.

Agreed. Obvious choice by far.

theBIGstep, you were referring to the Broad Run Station vs. Manassas Station. There are positives and negatives in regards to both stations. For one, there's plenty of parking at both stations, but when riding the later morning trains you will have to walk a lot more to the train platform because parking runs out. Some of the riders have said parking at Manassas was a quicker commute back home rather than parking at Broad Run. You will just have to experiment and and see what works best for you.
