Shortline Bus Posted July 12, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 12, 2011 For those of you who visit Southern Virginia Coast aka the Hampton Roads region, a big change is soon coming. The long delayed Norfolk area 'light rail' that was supposed to start in Jan. 2010 is now scheduled for a Mid-August 2011 opening. If the light rail is a success, there is already plans to extend down to sister city in Va. Beach. So anyone planning to going to the Hampton Roads area later this summer, the first modern rapid transit system (not counting the DC Metro Subway)in commonwealth of Virginia should be up and running. Here news link from a local CBS Norfolk area TV station. http://www.clipsyndicate.com/video/playlist/13492/2573119?cpt=8&title=truveo_full_feed&wpid=2541 Also here a short youtube clip with what is norfolk 'light rail' from the local Norfolk newspaper the Va. Pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
