This article needs a hatnote[edit]

I added a hatnote to this and it was removed. Rather than readd it, I would make the case that spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure out the difference between these two stations. Being that these are both public transit stations towhich prompt areival can mean catching the right train, I would say it is proper to have the link at the top.

@Magjozs: Usual practice per WP:NAMB is that articles with unambiguous titles do not need hatnotes. In this case, the (VRE) parenthetical in the title removes any ambiguity from Lorton station (Auto Train). The articles also already link to each other in the prose. Wikipedia is explicitly not a travel guide; it is the responsibility of riders to get themselves to the correct station by using actual travel guides (such as the websites of the train operators).
