Overview

Ride Select Amtrak* Trains

Note: Amtrak trains do not make all VRE station stops.

Amtrak cross honor agreement applies to Amtrak trains listed on VRE's schedule only. A valid VRE TLC, Monthly, Five Day or Ten-Trip ticket along with a Step-Up ticket must be presented to ride these select Amtrak trains on the Fredericksburg Line and the Manassas Line.

You must have signed your Monthly/VRE-TLC ticket, activated your Five-Day Pass or validated your Ten-Trip ticket prior to riding an Amtrak train. Single-Ride/Round-Trip tickets, Free Ride Certificates and promotional tickets will not be accepted by Amtrak, nor will VRE's "service guarantee" apply to trips taken on Amtrak trains. If you do not have valid tickets, individuals will be charged the full Amtrak one-way fare, including any penalty for purchasing a ticket at a staffed station.

When making your plans, please check with Amtrak to find out if your preferred train has been sold out in advance. If Amtrak has sold out that train, VRE passengers may not be permitted to board. For more information on Amtrak service, call 1-800-USA-RAIL or click here for information on Amtrak and other connecting services.
