A New Draft Of The 5.8 Billion Dollar Virginia Department Of Rail And Public Transportation Plan Does Not Include Any Funding To Bring Passenger Service To Bristol. It Does, However, Include Plans For A New Passenger Station In The New River Valley To Extend Service From Roanoke To The Christiansburg/Blacksburg Area By 2027. Plans For Expansion From There To Bristol, Now Seem Dependent On The State Of Tennessee’S Involvement. The Tennessee Advisory Commission Is Planning To Study Bringing Service From The New River Valley To Bristol, Knoxville, And Beyond. The Study Is Expected To Take Place Next Year.
