Pls can anyone advise on train services from baltimore, maryland to richmond, virginia.?

Question

I'm considering taking up a job in richmond , virginia and looking at commuting options.

Thanks

Answer 1

You could try checking the Amtrak schedule (I'm not sure if they operate that far south, but it's worth a shot, right?).  Or you could just Google trains from Baltimore, MD to Richmond, VA, which may prove more beneficial and/or helpful.  Good luck!

Answer 2

If you're thinking about doing this daily, I'll say you're crazy. The trip is over 3 hours by train. Might as well move down there or try and find a job closer up in MD. Goodluck.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, the only direct rail passenger service between Baltimore MD and Richmond VA would be Amtrak, and it's not cheap--  $60 per single trip.

Taking MARC to DC and transferring to the Virginia Railway Express will only take you as far as Fredericksburg.

Answer 4

Wait until VRE extends service to Richmond OR VRE provides bus service between Fredericksburg and Richmond.

You're still looking at a 3 hour trip and the last VRE train arrives in DC before 7 PM.  I hear housing is still cheap in Henrico County....
