WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Do you hold a ticket for the Prancer Express? It’s leaving the station later than some might think.
Virginia Railway Express has corrected the departure time for the holiday express train – one of several Santa Trains the agency will run on Saturday Dec. 8. The train will leave the Woodbridge station at 10:30 a.m., not 9:30 a.m. as was originally posted online.
The Prancer Express is the only Santa Train scheduled to leave the Woodbridge station Dec. 8.
VRE officials said the tickets have the correct departure time printed on them, and the time schedules have been corrected online.
The annual Santa Trains are a popular holiday staple for children and families in our area, and tickets sell out fast. When they went on sale Monday, more than 3,000 tickets for all 11 Santa Trains sold out in just minutes.
Santa Trains will leave the Leeland Road and Woodbridge stations on the Fredericksburg line, and the Manassas and Burke Center stations on the Manassas line.
The Santa Trains are used to help promote rail safety and Operation Lifesaver.
