Keolis Rail Services of Virginia will continue to operate Virginia Railway Express trains.

The VRE Operations Board on Friday approved the final year of a five-year contract with Keolis.

Keolis replaced Amtrak as VRE’s train operator in 2010.

The few comments that I've directly heard from those who ride VRE are generally positive about how Keolis has run things.
