VRE posts delay information online daily.  This information includes the total length of the delay, a brief description of the reason, and any FRC or other information that you may need.  This information will be updated daily by noon the following day. 

Please note:  Fredericksburg line trains are highlighted in RED.  Manassas line trains are highlighted in BLUE.  Delays are determined by the train’s arrival time at the final destination. FRCs are handed out to passengers on the train once the train has reached 30 minutes of delay.  Because trains can be delayed anywhere en route, the FRC policy will not apply to those who detrained before the delay reached the 30 minutes mark.  The on-time performance for each line for the day will posted at the end.
