[font="'times new roman';"][color=rgb(0,0,0);]Equipment Swaps for Wednesday, November 26th for Early Rush[/color][/font]

 

[font="'times new roman';"][color=rgb(0,0,0);]The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is historically the biggest day when commuters leave early. We anticipate extremely heavy loads on Fredericksburg Line Trains #301 (Departs Union Station 12:55pm), #303 (Departs Union Station 3:35pm) and Manassas Line Trains #325 (Departs Union Station 1:15pm), #327 (Departs Union Station 3:45pm). #301, #303, and #327 will all have eight cars while #325 will have seven cars. Although these trains will have the most cars, we still anticipate extreme crowding. [/color][/font] 

 

[font="'times new roman';"][color=rgb(0,0,0);]We encourage commuters to wait and ride later trains such as Manassas Line Train #329 (Departs Union Station 4:25pm) and Fredericksburg Line #305 (Departs Union Station 4:10p,) if you want to have a seat and not deal with the crowding.[/color][/font]
