Amtrak just posted this on their Facebook page- Take Amtrak from Blacksburg to New York
Basically, Amtrak has tied up with the local bus service "SmartWay bus" to act as Thruway bus connection from Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg to Lynchburg, connecting to the morning NE Regional heading up to WAS, PHL, NYP. Amtrak's site shows a new "station" - Blacksburg - Virginia Tech Bus Stop, VA (BLK)
This is going to be good for the Hokies traveling home and back during weekends and school holidays. How I wish this service was started when I was a student at VT, missed it
