FRED resumes Eagle Express (formerly FRED Express) Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday service.
With the start up of the University of Mary Washington's 2010-2011 academic year, FRED has re-started its University-centered service. The service operates Thursday and Friday evenings and all day Saturday and Sunday. FRED hasl renamed the UMW service as the Eagle Express in recognition of the University's mascot/symbol. As part of this effort, FRED has redesigned its Eagle Express schedules and bus stop signs. You can see a sample of the new bus stop signs here. And you can connect to the new schedules below.
FRED's relationship with the University dates back more than a decade. We thank UMW for its continuing support.
UMW students, faculty and staff ride the Eagle Express and all other regular FRED route for free upon presenting a valid UMW ID. The general public is welcome to ride the Eagle Express as well, at the regular fare of 50 cents per boarding.
FRED adjusts VRE feeder service effective July 19, 2010.
Effective July 19, 2010, FRED adjusted its VRE feeder schedules to accommodate several changes VRE has made to its service on the Fredericksburg Line. However, for operational and financial reasons FRED will not be able to provide feeder service to the soon-to-be-started 5:05 AM VRE train.
In the morning FRED will make its first pickups for newly numbered VRE trains 304, 306, 308, and 310 five minutes earlier than currently, and train 312 ten minutes earlier.
In the afternoon, FRED will meet train 305 upon its new later arrival time of 5:42 PM.
Click on the FRED VRE feeder service of your choice below to see the new schedules. The new schedules are also available from the home page and the schedule page on rideFRED.com and at FRED Ceentral, 1400 Jefferson Davis Highway.
We regret that we will not be able to meet the earliest train in the morning and will seek additional funding to support the addition of another run during our next budget cycle.
