New Service Expanded to Norfolk, VA

Norfolk residents can experience the return of reliable train service to the city. For the first time in 35 years, Amtrak train service will originate in Norfolk, with new departures connecting passengers to destinations north of the city, giving our travelers more benefits while the existing Amtrak bus service between Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Newport News continues to run.

• Daily round-trip travel originating from Norfolk.
• One-seat rides make it easy to book business travel, a weekend getaway, a family visit or college trips to Petersburg, Richmond, Washington DC, Philadelphia, New York and cities all the way up to Boston. For leisure travelers, the service provides a great way to visit sights in Virginia and north of Washington without having to face long traffic delays in the bridges and tunnels.
• A new transportation option for military members traveling between Southside Hampton Roads, Fort Lee, Quantico and the Pentagon, plus a 10% fare discount for active-duty military and family.
• Easy online reservations and eTicketing or with your web-enabled mobile device (no tickets sold at the station)
