Amtrak Richmond Charlottesville recent customer reviews
It was not a very comfortable trip because my train was delayed for like two hours and then it had to stop a few times because of traffic on the line and technical problems. So I was there for a very long time, more than what was scheduled. And I got to my destiny very late. So tiring
