VRE travel times (Manassas: home, move, train)

[rivettijensen]

Am I blind? On the VRE website I can only find departure times but no arrival times. What am I missing?

Thanks. It all just clicked. I'm so tired.

ALso when I rode VRE, trains were frequently late for one reason or another, especially in the summer.

I agree. If you listen to WTOP traffic they seem like they are always announce VRE Train such-and-such is 30 minutes late. Lots of rain, lots of cold, heat, etc, effect it.

I remember one day, my co-worker who goes to Manassas had a 3 hour ride home because of a very light rain mixed with leaves on the track. It apparently caused the tracks to be slick and the train couldn't move over 5 mph or so. He said it was agony.

I'm such a control freak, I don't think I could ever put myself in the hands of the VRE.
