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).

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.

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.

This is the WORST company with whom I have ever done business. I purchased two coupons from Groupon for pick up to and from Reagan National but never got a return call from NoVA Limos to confirm pick up. I made the reservation through their website on 10/13/2011 and again on 10/25/2011 -- two weeks and one day respectively before my arrival to DC. Other than two auto response emails indicating my information for reservation has been submitted successfully, I never received a confirmation call. I finally called them today (10/27/2011) and not only did Kevin call me "dude", he had the audacity to tell me that I didn't follow directions on Groupon, which by the way made no mention to contact the company directly. Why put the option to make the reservation online if the employees don't check their own company emails? The company (and that's calling it mildly) did not even apologize for the inconvenience or offered an alternative service to make up for the error. I couldn't care less that I did not get the car on the day I arrived at the airport. But I do care that as a potential customer, I was blamed for allegedly not following directions and referring to me like I'm his friend. Calling me "dude" was not only offensive but completely unprofessional! WORST customer service, WORST professionalism, WORST work ethic. WORST company! They are not even deserving of the ONE star but I thought I owed it other potential customers to know what they could be getting themselves into. Thanks NoVA Limos for starting off my vacation on the wrong foot!
