I only wish that they would extend it to either Radford or Christinasburg. I live in DC and I grew up in Blacksburg. Service to Christiansburg would be a big help for me as I travel between the two often to tend to my parents. Having to still find transportation to Lynchburg is often dificult. I think Christiansburg to DC train would be a huge sucess. Just think of all those VT students from Northern VA that would no longer use I81. Less traffic on the highways and a more mobile community would be great for southwestern VA. Not to mention the savings from less wear and tear on the highways. Come on Blacksburg. Come on VT. Get on board and show your support for a much need asset for VA. Do it sooner not later. I love the new train to and from Washington DC.

If this continues, the Amtrak/Virgina June 2, 2009 Agreement establishing the new train allows for the possibility of a connecting bus from Bristol, if revenue/cost projections are favorable. We all need to work hard to increase ridership on the new train. That is the quickest way to get rail extended to Bedford, Roanoke, Christiansburg, Radford, and beyond.

Is There any possible to extend schedule as far as 5am?

There are many people who would take advantage of an earlier train with less need for reservations, or a train from Lynchburg to Richmond that continued to Washington on an early schedule.
