Source: https://wwww.septa.org/news/11th-st/ Use 8th Street or 13th St for now. To quote: - Elevators will be constructed to make 11th St Station accessible and ADA-compliant. - Renovated entrances, flooring, tiling and lighting. - Structural repairs will be made to the ceiling, and the station will be made more waterproof. - Improved signage and maps. Crossing my fingers!

This review is for the SUBWAY system stop at 11th street. This stop connects to regional rail,…read moreinside Jefferson Station, but since subway and regional rail are separate entities, this is for, specifically, the 11th Street subway stop (just as Yelp has other SEPTA subway stops listed). Note that when you connect over, you need separate tickets for subway vs regional rail (while the two systems intersect at various points throughout the city, each is a different transit system). 11th Street is a typical SEPTA subway station. Caught that urine smell in the hall and almost threw up. It was snowy/wet out, but I swear there were greasy smears all over the floor instead of just water. Super slippery and not fun. They had salt or those calcium chloride pellets all over the aisles of the trains (even at the risk of damaging the rubber traction), so why the heck were the tile/concrete floors of the station so greasy/slick? On the plus side, I was entertained by the ad on the station sign between tracks, a nod to Will Smith.

Parking is $1 but this parking lot is so big that you can always find a parking spot. When you park…read moreyour car, make sure to remember the parking spot number for when you go pay for parking! There's a ticket office at this location, and since it is a major stop all the Rush Hour express trains stop here. I also like the fact that this station is within walking distance to a cute little downtown area which is convenient for food.

Clean, reliable station. Tons of parking (paid, via an app)…read more It's a short walk from tons of Ambler businesses, so if you get to the station early, enjoy a beer or coffee before your train arrives! This station would get five stars if the actual ticket office was open longer hours.

Going back into an office now - im taking the rail in to Philly. A train station is a pretty much a…read moreplace you go there,park you car and hop on a train. What I like about this SEPTA regional rail station and others on the Main Line is they have kept the vintage, historical feel - with huge help of course by the community organizations. Brick walk way and the historical train building and covering over the platform- definitely gives you a serene vibe than standing on a concrete platform a plastic bubble house with minimum seating. There are lots of trees in the background too that's brings color during the fall. Since land is scarce to expand in the area, parking is better than some of the small stations ( Ardmore) but not as plentiful as some of ones out in the further burbs like Paoli. I have not counted but wiki says 117 spots. With people still WFH they parking is easy to gets spot during AM commute and Free now Usually $1 day. Warning- when I commuted pre pandemic you were out of luck by 8am to find a spot. Negative is that the parking is a bit crammed and there are parallel spots to the tracks that are across the parking spaces. There is litle space between the two so when back out you have to be careful not to hit the car parked parallel to the tracks. Also it's a one way parking lot so when when everyone is coming in in the AM and coming out in the PM it's a wait. You can also get a monthly parking pass in a selected lot on the westbound side. Convenience - a Wynnewood shopping center and Whole Foods , Starbucks and First Watch is a block away. If you are in the area and plan to commute in the a regional Rail I pick this one. 15 min ride to 30th St Station - yay!-

If you're trying to get into center city Philadelphia without driving into Philadelphia and braving…read morethe many parking tickets being handed out then Wynnewood Station is the place to be. Buy a roundtrip ticket, check the schedule and hop a 30 minute train to Philadelphia and go where you please. It drops off conveniently at the Convention Center as well as multiple other stops that make Philadelphia more accessible for those that live in the suburbs. Train schedules are quite different from morning to evening to weekends so I would make sure to research accordingly. Parking at the station is $1 and you must pay in quarters, you've been warned. It's convenient to surrounding towns and is a major train station for everyone who commutes into downtown for work. I'm a fan.

I like that the train is connected to the airport terminals and will take you to Center Center and…read morethen some. That's convenient. I wish the train system's maps and stations were displayed better. The sound system on the trains could be a little louder and decipherable, too. I had to watch the map on my phone to figure out where I was because a map wasn't displayed in the car and I couldn't hear the conductor when he spoke. Keep your ticket or your phone app out. The train staff will be by to check them.

The PHL Philadelphia airport is super efficient and amazing to have SEPTA directly conveniently…read moreconnected to it from Terminal E. And it's less than 20 minutes on the train to Center City 30th street station where you can get connections to other areas in PA and NJ and NYC Penn Station. And it only costs $8.75 one way. This train comes every 2x an hour at the 7 and 37 min after the hour like 10:07am and 10:37am. The ticket master will come around and stamp it and you have to keep it when you get off to get out at the turnstile. This is probably the easiest public transportation airport and the most economical way to get downtown from the airport w it being under $10 so you can avoid Uber and Lyft and use the money for food like hoagies and cheesesteaks.

This is the Paoli/Thornedale line. The Norristown High Speed Line is .5mi Southeast on King of…read morePrussia Road. It's a Septa station. It's fine. Much better than years ago when it was a dilapidated wood structure filled with urine. Although it would be nice if there were still a Post Office there. The tunnel under the station always floods when it rains. The ticket office is barely open. Only in the morning. The digital signs are always incorrect. Cheap parking is limited, but there is ample parking in the attached Radnor Township lot. There are only 6 spots, all for monthly pass holders, on the inbound side. There are about 100 $1 spots on the outbound side, which is accessible from Matsonford Road. Look for the entrance to Archbishop Carroll.

I only recently discovered and love the R100 High Speed Line (aka Norristown High Speed). So much…read morefaster and easier than the R5 regional. Transferring to the Blue Line at 69th St. Station is easy and rarely a wait. Using the R100 Radnor Station and the High Speed Line shaves nearly 20-25 minutes off the trip down into Philly. And the parking, albeit limited, is free! However there is no ticket booth/kiosk, so bring correct change ($3.50 peak fare with transfer to downtown Philly). Make sure you ask for the transfer when paying the fare!

This is the the station you will get off at to come to South Philly and to all of the stadiums…read morewhich is the only time we personally use it. For that purpose, it's awesome. It's located right near it all! The station itself gets a little crowded after events, but it's nothing compared to the headache exiting the parking lot in a motor vehicle can be at times, especially if there's two events going on at the different arenas. There isn't always someone in the booths late at night so bring tokens or exact fare! It's not super dirty. I've definitely seen worse and I do feel pretty safe using it even super late at night. It's newly named AT&T and there's a big, bright lit up sign with this newer name on it making it very hard to miss. I would absolutely recommend using this station for anyone in the city who has a game or concert or whatever. Easy!

Three stars is a compromise rating for this SEPTA station. SEPTA itself, in terms of cleanliness,…read more(in)efficiency of buying a ticket during peak times, and staffing gets about 1.5 stars. But this particular station gets five stars for being the most convenient way into the area for sporting events and other events at Lincoln Financial Field, Citizens Bank Park and the Wells Fargo Center. So I'll go with 3 stars. The location can't be beat and there are usually plenty of trains at peak (game/concert) times -- which is why I take the train to events whenever I can. But don't be surprised to see an unexplained, massive line to buy tokens, and expect the stations that you're traveling to and from to be on the dingy side (the stadium station itself isn't too bad in this regard). It would be great if Philadelphia and SEPTA could get things together enough to have the best of both worlds -- a convenient, efficient subway system AND frequent trains to AT&T Station at peak times.

A year ago, this station was in pretty bad disrepair. They've been doing a great deal of work on it…read moreas of late. New fence along the side parking lot to keep pedestrians from walking across the tracks (which was causing for muddy and at times dangerous situations). Now what I'd like to see done: 1. The station was originally built with a canopy that extended the entire length of the platform. I'd like to see this restored at some point. I'd prefer a business or generous donation from the local community vs. the city paying for it as it's not a high priority. If you step off the train towards the end of the platform and it's raining, you're going to get wet. 2. There is a beautiful station here that is open at limited times. It'd be great if some small business could revive this building and make it useful again. The ticket office needs one small window. I'd say a coffee shop, but Chestnut Hill Coffee and Starbucks make that unnecessary. Anyway, something to add to the life of the stop would be great - Chestnut Hill shops stretch almost all the way to the train station so it's definitely possible to have a successful business here. Parking is readily available, although it's easy to get bottlenecked during rush hour. Also, if you are planning on cutting it close, the conductor often only opens up the train door farthest down the platform. I really don't get this, especially if it's raining or hot. But it can be a good trek down the platform if it's a long train. Overall it's a good stop, although it could definitely use some more work to really make it a Chestnut Hill gem.

Very well maintained station with frequent service into center city Philadelphia. There's a…read moresurprisingly large amount of parking here due to the razed turntable and other bygone railroad functions. The station exterior is a finely appointed Reading Railroad stone. Built in 1931 the structure has been holding up pretty well. The interior is comfortable with plenty of amenities. There is a bathroom, benches, water fountain, and a schedule rack. Recently SEPTA crews made their way out to Chestnut Hill East to repair the station canopy roofs, repaint benches, and repaint the platforms. The station looks very sharp. Half hour peak service and hourly off peak service is offered here. Sadly, not much in lines of nearby places to grab coffee or snacks. Germantown Ave. is a 3 minute drive or 5 minute walk, so I'd recommend coming prepared with your own java. However if you'd like to zumba or hit the cycle studio after a train ride from work, there are a few of these businesses directly across the street! Make sure you pay attention to the track your train is pulling off from. There are three separate departure tracks available here. Pro tip: generally the first two cars are the only ones that will be open during off-peak hours, make your way up early so that you can grab a seat!

The Moylan-Rose Valley station is located on the Media/Elwyn line of the SEPTA regional rail system…read more(in Zone 3). It is between the Media stop, and the Wallingford stop. Access to the station is from Manchester Ave. This is closest to South Media as well as the two neighborhoods mentioned in the station name. Manchester Ave. is not very walkable into town, with a somewhat busy road and no sidewalks. I do not recommend this stop if you are walking and are not familiar with the area (it does connect to bus 118). If walking, you are better off getting off at the Media stop to access Media Borough. *If you are trying to get to The Pennsylvania Institute of Technology, then yes, this is closest, but still, watch traffic as you walk there, because that bend of the road is dangerous in a car, let alone on foot. There is a sizable parking lot at this station, however it is pretty full as are most SEPTA regional rail lots. (I know a number of people who live nearby and walk there.) Each space costs $1 in quarters at the machine per day. This station has a SEPTA ticket office, open 5:15am-11:15am M-F. This station also has a US Post Office (which is only open M-Sat 7am - 10:30am -- see separate Yelp listing). There is a small porch overhang off of the station house for inclement weather. Fun Fact: This station has operated since 1870!
