    The metro train approaches
    Matthew S.

    A very clean metro, very easy to take the blue line or yellow line to and from old town Alexandria.

    This is my closest metro stop, so I may be a bit biased, but I think it's the best metro stop. It's never crowded when I'm trying to ride. The platforms aren't crowded and the trains aren't crowded for either the Blue or Yellow lines. It's great. Plus it's really clean (compared to other stops) even though it looks a bit older. My favorite thing about this stop, though, is that it's not underground. You get a pretty nice view of the area for a while before you go into a tunnel and underground. It's quite peaceful and relaxing. It's extremely close to the King Street stop, so if you miss your stop or get off early, don't fret. There's a paved path that goes along the tracks that you can follow all the way down to the next station. Even if you don't miss your stop, it's a nice walk!

    Why does it seem like no one ever gets off here??? It feels like it's a remote outpost like Deep Space 9.

    I've always found this station easy to navigate. It is super close, walking distance to the Metro…read morestation as well. There is a few hotels within walking distance and many stores and eateries. You can totally make Alexandria your main hub to get in and out of DC. The area is quiet and peaceful at times. The station has vending machines, pew seating, bench seating, a covered area while you wait for the train. When you get off there is two ways to get to the other side of the track. One is walking across the tracks... safely. The other is the underground tunnel and stairs. There is also restrooms, and a few parking spots. I've never had any issues with staff. They run a tight ship and get travelers in and out and where they need to be. Educate yourself the best you can with process and it will help. Asking questions also helps. HOT TIP: If you're not in a rush, have someone pick you up 15-20 min after your your train arrives. Less hassle with other cars around. I just sit and watch the trains come and go while I wait. People watch too.

Waited just a few minutes, the train arrived and boom off on my weekend adventure. Remember the quiet car is for quiet. No tally talky. A new rider was telling me it was her first time and the professional and friendly staff reminded us that it was the quiet car.. hint hint. Time to sleep. Did want to note that Track 3 is the track right outside the station waiting area. My first time leaving from this location and had to ask. ‍

    For two years, I have been riding the VRE Fredericksburg Line from Rippon to L'Enfant and back. The…read morescheduled ride to L'Enfant is 51 minutes and it's 47 minutes back and that is accurate, in my experience. On-time rates aren't bad. They do run a different schedule on snow days, so check their website on those days. Before living in Woodbridge I was closer to DC and for two-and-a-half years had a metro ride of about 20-22 minutes on the orange line to L'Enfant. I prefer 47-51 minutes on the VRE to 20 minutes on metro. The VRE is smoother, cleaner, more comfortable, less crowded, and the VRE does not have the metro's unexplained stops and unintelligible announcements.

Still standing on the platform at 5:15 and no train...no schedule update. Officially done with VRE. Several others on the platform said they are now switching to other commute options. The only consistency in the VRE schedule is that it is inconsistent and non existent. Update: 5/8/26 Yes... continuing the disappointment, VRE is late for yet another consecutive time. 20 minute delay is what is claimed, but who are they kidding. Update on the update: trains now delayed 45 minutes. Update on the updates update: trains now moving. They are 1 hour behind. The train still has not arrived, but at least it is moving. I decided to go home and take a vacation day. By the time I get to work, I am already late and need to use leave to make up the time. Might as well stay home. My prediction is next week... continued construction followed by more delays, disappointment, and riders seeking out commuter buses, van pools and slug lines. I have already made the switch. I recommend you do the same.

    Why does it feel like you have to train for a marathon to use this station. Like you probably walk…read morea half mile just to get from the bus depot to the platform. Even though there are two entrances here, it doesn't make a difference. It honestly feels like they meant for this station to spawn some development. Like they wanted developers to build around the station to make it feel included. But what they got was a station that sits alone. Divided from the apartments, businesses, and plaza within eyeshot. It doesn't help that you have to cross over the railroad tracks to get to the Metro tracks either. It just feels so isolated, which is so odd. To the one end of the platforms is a neighborhood, but there is no real connection for them to access this unless they want to drive a great distance around or walk a very lonely road which I would not do. What also doesn't help here is how wide open it is. Yes, it is covered, but that does not stop the wind from whipping at you. The covering is nice if precipitation only came straight down. Add in that wind, it does not matter that you are on a covered walkway or landing, you will get soaked. With how cold it an get in the area, then add in how close to the river you are, it can be quite the chilly journey. I honestly shouldn't have even come to this station, but my day was ruined and I ended up using this as a turnaround spot for myself. That is after hitting up a store...half mile away. (Seriously, I think it was a half mile to get to this store).
