Amtrak – Manassas Station

Went here for the wine and blues festival in June 2014. Had a great time. Wish they had more well known artist– especially for the price.
Met some really nice people in the REALLY hot sun as we shared sunscreen and laughs.

I ended up here on Wednesday when I missed my stop at Manassas Park. I was pretty annoyed, but got on my phone and requested a ride to the Manassas Park VRE station via Über. Ok, I’m done venting, back to my review… this station is actually a station which is nice. They have bathrooms inside and benches to sit on to get away from the elements. There is also a counter where you can purchase tickets and get questions asked. It’s located right in Old Town Manassas, so if you have time to spare you can walk to the manay restaurants and shops right around there.

This is the train station in Manassas.
When the train goes by it goes WHOO WHOO
When the train goes by the road it goes DING DING DING DING
OK seriously, it’s nice to have the train station in Manassas. The VRE makes it SUPER easy to travel from M-​town to DC for business, and Amtrack is a great (and underused) alternative to flying. I wish there were more options, and more reasonably priced options, for weekend service into DC on the weekend. But otherwise, YAY! I’m a fan.

Fun!

Simply Sweet, the coffee shop in the city now has a vendor set up in the Station to sell coffee and rolls!
