VRE Riders Union

VRE riders holding @VARailXpress responsible for declining service.

@DaleKingston06 @VaRailXpress @VRERidersUnion @Mushmouse21 Monitor still inoperable. Two full weeks after this was brought to @VaRailXpress attention. Many P.A. speakers still also in disrepair.

[FTY @FTY4evah]

@VRERidersUnion can you please get off the line with the PTC helpdesk. Our conductor is calling for the second day in a row to figure out why we are stuck in front of Burke station. #unplug #reboot

[Brian @Brian_617]

Hi there, @VaRailXpress this monitor at Lorton has been inoperable for MONTHS. I’ve already tweeted you about this AND reported it to you online. Please repair at your earliest convenience. Thanks in advance. @VRERidersUnion

First day back on @wmata and naturally I’m sitting in a lengthy signal delay after waiting 12m for a train. Should have stuck with VRE #wmata @unsuckdcmetro

[Lauren Zeitler @IamtheLZ]

@VaRailXpress This has been an ongoing issue. When can riders expect the GPS issues to be resolved?

[N. Peter Rasmussen @NPeterRasmusse1]

@jdb647 @VaRailXpress @VRERidersUnion Just echoing what @davinppeterson said below, not an "L" station. Typical of a transit agency with system-wide problems.

[Jeff Burrowes @jdb647]

The @VaRailXpress 310 showed up to Alexandria at 7:35 and left at 7:37 (scheduled departure of 7:39) while I was still at the station trying to get to the car track. How am I supposed to get to work now? @VRERidersUnion

[The General @ConeyIsleKid]

@VaRailXpress the daily delay! A thorough audit of VRE ops is warranted!

[Doug Klain @DougKlain]

First day of work and my @VaRailXpress train is delayed 30mins—our nation’s capital truly knows how to welcome a guy back

[Lauren Zeitler @IamtheLZ]

.@VaRailXpress just tried to purchase my monthly pass using the app and two different credit cards. Both had processing issues. Looks like an issue with the app- can you pls look into? Thnx.

[Virginia Railway Express @VaRailExpress]

Amtrak train 93 (departs Union Station at 5:50 pm) is estimated to depart Washington 30 minutes late

[Amy Kluber @amykluber]

I just watched a custodian empty the contents of both the regular trash and “newspaper only” into the same trash can at the Manassas Park @VaRailXpress stop. I can’t 🙈 #ReduceReuseRecycle

[FTY @FTY4evah]

@amykluber I’ll bet a kid on the very first day of school stopped an hour with police officers in the street might actually be scared. @VRERidersUnion

[FTY @FTY4evah]

@VaRailXpress No ventilation or AC on train. Double stops at every station. 6-8 bus loads of children will be late for their first day of school. Hundreds will be significantly late to work. Good job today. @VRERidersUnion

[FTY @FTY4evah]

@VaRailXpress VRE causing significant delays on roads in Manassas Park on First Day of School. “Coupling” train with multiple whiplash like jolts. Now the power is off and train is immovable across major intersection - four school buses stick in VRE jam @VRERidersUnion

[Tania Ruiz @TaniaRuizDC]

@VaRailXpress 2 hour commute so far and counting ...

[N. Peter Rasmussen @NPeterRasmusse1]

@paulconndc @VaRailXpress My life is a VRE nightmare. I celebrate the days when it is on time.

[Virginia Railway Express @VaRailExpress]

Currently Manassas line delay times:

328 - 95 min late

330 - 50 min late

332 - 30 min late

[JerseyGirlinVA @RescueMom0302]

@VaRailXpress @VRERidersUnion Manassas line train just sitting on tracks near Crystal City... blah blah DELAY... blah blah CSX. What is going on?!

[VRE Riders Union @VRERidersUnion]

Can anyone spot the differences in these two pictures? (Hint, it’s the same picture)
