Comments: Extensive food court and decent shopping opportunities as well as tablecloth dining. Acela lounge for first class passengers. Inadequate waiting room capacity at peak periods. Within walking distance of U.S. Capitol and U.S. Capitol Visitors Center or take DC Circulator bus. Metrorail subway available for almost all trains. Taxi stand is at front of station- don't be discouraged by the long line, it moves quickly. If you have any questions about how to get anywhere, stop in at the NARP kiosk near the Acela Lounge.
