Comfortable train station with knowledgeable and helpful staff. Parking down below next to the tracks can be congested; park on Kemper and take the elevator or steps down.
Amazing staff!! I was a first time train traveler and my first visit to Lynchburg and DC. I had no clue how the trains worked but staff gave me all the details I needed and a discount to boot. Great experience.
Beautiful station with plenty of places to sit inside and out. The upper and lower parking lots and area in front of the station are paved with cobblestones and so pretty!! There is parking and passenger drop off and pick up on the upper and lower lots.
The station is historical. But getting in and out whether walking or driving—is difficult since the station is located down a flight of stairs, basically in a hole. The cobblestones around the station are ridiculous getting in by car, then there’s a tight hairpin turn into the parking & drop off area. When the train is disembarking its passengers, it’s a total mess. There’s few parking spots down below and not much room for passengers and cabs and pedestrians to get around. There’s always a bottleneck. The staff is very helpful and nice. There is an elevator. A very slow one. Bus terminals for connections are across the street now. No cobblestones there.
The station is very clean and bathrooms kept well. The man working the counter was very nice and helpful when I arrived for my first train ride. Thank you!
The man I have seen there in the evenings is great. So nice and professional. I used to take Smartbus out of Roanoke to Lynchburg in the morning and then back to Roanoke in the evening. He let me wait at the station. Tbe Smartbus quit going to Lynchburg so I took Amtrac this time. The same male clerk was working. He kept me updated as to the arrival of the train.
Historical train station, clean, quiet and not busy at all...
Amtrak is a joke. Their system ask for one way vs round trip then gives you price for one way. Usually more expensive than flying. Trains are late. Why would you do it. The experience is cool but you have to wait and pay more for it.
Second time on a train, still nervous about it because airports have drilled into me that maybe I'm always doing something wrong. amtrak staff were very helpful and patient. Really relaxed train station.
Once you're there, you realize you're in Lynchburg.... Which is horrible all on its own... But this station gets the job done.
