Be very on your toes, aware of potential aggressive drivers. I get it people want to go to work or home, but please realize others do so more carefully. As for the station, not many 30 minute parking spots. These can be crucial, when waiting on a person. There are I believe ten spots. That's clearly not enough. Platform is quite clean. Like many places with transit, there are some characters, but feel completely safe here. Definitely enjoy VRE!

Cannot sleep on the 3" foam mattress because it cannot absorb the constant bumps from the hundred plus year old tracks. So arrived many hours later unrested and bike slightly damaged.

VRE trains won't win speed awards, but are comfortable, and usually do well with time accuracy. Have found their employees solid. This station is mostly covered from elements.

I do like that there are Amtrak and more freight trains to see. Being an enthusiast, if you are into trains, this is good for us. The station area inside is a little cramped.
