Baggage | Bicycles | Food and Beverage | Smoking | Pets | Quiet Cars
Items which do not cause safety hazards or inconvenience to other passengers are permitted. For oversized bags, please check with the conductor on your train to find the best possible storage space available.
Full size bicycles cannot be accommodated on VRE trains. Collapsible
bicycles, however, are permitted on all of our trains.
For the safety and comfort of you and our other passengers, we ask
that you observe the simple guidelines below whenever you bring your
collapsible bike on a VRE train.
Food and non-alcoholic beverages may be consumed on-board trains. Please dispose of wrappers and containers in proper receptacles.
Smoking is not permitted onboard Virginia Railway Express trains. Smoking is also limited to 100 feet on the north end of the platform.
Only small pets are allowed, and only if carried in closed containers. Trained guide and service animals assisting persons with disabilities are permitted at all times.
The car immediately behind the locomotive on the south end of all VRE trains is the Quiet Car. When in this car customers are asked to refrain from using cell phones, keep pager, phone and PDA sounds off, and speak only in whispers.
