VRE Plans Full Operation Schedule for Thursday

Virginia Railway Express (VRE) plans to operate as normal on Thursday.

"That said, you may want to want to factor extra time into your commute," officials said in a service alert. "The roads to your station may not be in pristine condition so allow extra time for driving."

All VRE platforms were cleared Wednesday and will be treated for possible icing overnight, the railway reported.  Passengers are still advised to use extreme caution when walking on exposed surfaces, including parking lots and station platforms.

"Never run for a train -- even if the weather is clear," VRE officials said. "It is always a possibility there will be residual delays from the weather, so please dress warmly in case you find yourself outside longer than normal," VRE said.

Any significant service disruptions will be communicated through the company's communication channels:

• VRE Webpage
• VRE on Twitter
• VRE on Facebook
