Burke Centre VRE

10399 Premier Court, Burke, VA 22015

Your options

Use the Manassas Line station at Premier Court for commuter rail. VRE lists surface and garage parking, an accessible ramp, an elevator and bike racks.

Plan the connection

Match your journey to the current Manassas timetable and station notices. Garage access can change during work; do not assume every parking level is always available.

Burke

Rolling Road VRE

9016 Burke Road, Burke, VA 22015

Your options

Compare this second Manassas Line station when Burke Road is a more convenient starting point. VRE lists free surface parking and an accessible ramp.

Plan the connection

Check the same line’s timetable for trains that serve your intended journey. This station is distinct from Burke Centre and does not share its garage.

Burke

Connector 495 to Tysons

Your options

Route 495 is listed as Burke Centre VRE–Tysons, offering a cross-county option rather than taking a rail journey toward central Washington first.

Plan the connection

Open route 495 in the county schedule directory for actual trip times and stops. Use the travel day’s timetable; no all-day frequency or weekend service is assumed.

Burke

Time the return train

Your options

Use VRE’s current schedule for the whole round trip before committing to an evening plan. Commuter-rail choices differ from Metro’s frequent urban service.

Plan the connection

VRE normally runs Monday–Friday, with holiday exceptions, not as a weekend or late-night alternative to Metro. Select the Manassas Line and check service notices for both halves of the journey.

Burke

Walk and bike connections

Your options

Use Trail Buddy to connect public paths around the lakes and neighborhoods. It helps distinguish a public trail from a tempting shortcut across private grounds.

Plan the connection

Inspect surfaces and crossings before choosing a route. Royal Lake’s natural trail prohibits bicycles, while Burke Lake’s main loop permits them; nearby paths do not all have the same rules.
