Amtrak isn't direct to VA Beach. You have a bus ride from Newport News and it's over an hour. Personally I would do Amtrak because you can get up and walk around.

I would go Amtrak. The Chinatown busses are too sketchy and as you said they been getting into a lot of accidents lately (one just this week in VA killing 4 people).

I m from Va Beach and my cousin took the Chinatown bus up to NYC to visit me a couple years ago and although it was super cheap, he said there was a lot of sketchy people on that bus.

Amtrak brings you to Newport News which is like 40 minutes from Va Beach, still I would chose that over the CT buss.
