Customers with VRE tickets who must travel on these days have some alternate transportation options available with their VRE ticket:
On selected holidays, VRE will run on our "S" schedule. Only trains in our normal schedule marked with an "S" will operate. See our calendar for operating dates. In addition, the mid-day trains on the Manassas and Fredericksburg Lines will operate on days when the "S" schedule is operating.
"S" schedule days planned at this time:
The Day After Thanksgiving - Friday, November 28, 2008
Christmas Eve - Wednesday, December 24, 2008
Monday - Wednesday, December 29 - 31, 2008
The Day After New Year's - Friday, January 2, 2009
The "S" schedule may also be used in times of inclement weather or other service disruptions. Notification will be given through the website, Train Talk, and media outlets (see our snow page for details).
