If you’re headed back down to Virginia after a long hard day in DC, don’t expect getting home via VRE to be possible tonight. Via the Post, VRE service is cancelled for the evening:
Virginia Railway Express is canceling all Fredericksburg Line trains tonight.
All passengers should take Metro’s Blue Line to Franconia-Springfield. If headed to Lorton you should then board Fairfax Connector bus 171. If you are not headed to Lorton, once at Springfield, take the escalator down to the bus bays, where they promise VRE staffers will be waiting to help you find a bus for Woodbridge, Rippon, Quantico, Brooke, Leeland Road and Fredericksburg. Those buses will leave at 4 p.m., 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
Everyone can ride the Metrorail free by showing their railroad tickets to station managers when they enter and leave the subway.
Five people were injured when train 304 jumped the tracks outside of Quantico this morning.

I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
