VRE modifies Monday schedule

The Virginia Railway Express will run a modified "S Schedule" Monday morning that is designed for bad weather and workdays before a holiday, like Christmas Eve.

The schedule reduces from eight to four the number of trains heading into the District in the morning and back to Virginia in the evening.

Instead of departing from Fredericksburg at 5:15 a.m., the first District-bound train will leave that city at 5:45 a.m. Similarly, the first train from Manassas will depart at 5:45 a.m. rather than 5:05 a.m.
