Aberdeen-Matawan is a very busy station! It is located at grade and has two high wall platforms,…read morewith canopies over the north (New York-bound) side of each. There is a fairly large station house on the north side of the northbound platform, which houses a waiting room, a ticket window, and a medium-sized bagel shop, which does wonderful business every day.I am only giving two stars because the station, during the afternoon, doesn't have a sheltered or indoor place to sit on the NY-bound side.It's a major inconvenience on a cold day, and in general, there is inadequate seating. Trains normally seem to be on time, though, and the scenery from the train is superb. Between Perth Amboy and South Amboy, you slowly cross the Raritan River on a low bridge with no siderails, giving the impression that you are on a boat, with an unobstructed scenic view of Staten Island to the northeast. The water views from this line are pretty amazing. Also, in the future, I'd be more inclined to take the bus, since the train on Sundays only runs once hourly NY and Long Branch, whereas the 139 bus runs twice hourly. This train can be packed coming back, and the fact that people occupy valuable seating space with their jackets and feet is very frustrating.

I took the NJT out of Linden to NYC a few times during my visit. For the out of towners like myself…read morewho aren't familiar with the NJT, you can get to NY Penn from Linden. It's a small station not too far from Newark. They have a few small parking lots around the station. There's a lot of construction nearby which has apparently reduced the number of available spaces. The daily fee to park is $6. Be sure to read the signs as some of the spots are reserved for permit parking. They have machines where you can pay to park by space number, however my uncle paid and still got a ticket. You can purchase train tickets at the ticketing machines near the platform. They do not have any ticket agents available. A roundtrip ticket to/from NY Penn was about $20. The price of course varies depending on your destination. It was about $10 to go round trip to Newark Penn. The station has bike racks and lockers. I don't recall seeing any elevators, however they do have ramps to get to the train platform if you aren't able to use the stairs.

Anyway, my family lives relatively close by, so I come here to steal one of their cars to do things like move, do errands, escape New York, etc etc. Heated room if it's cold, ugly aesthetics, and ever climbing ticket prices; but hey it's NJT what do you expect*. --------- *Hopefully not modernism, efficiency, or affordability, because if you are you'll be sorely disappointed.

The best way to get into NY from the Holmdel - Middletown NJ area is by NJ Transit train. The…read moreMiddletown train station is located in the center of the town and offers express service into Newark and New York (Penn Station). The express trains get into NY in just over an hour. The locals take about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Only the locals stop at Newark Airport. There is lots of parking available but the daily lot just raised its price to $7 per day. Save some money and make sure that you buy your ticket before getting on the train. The ticket vending machines are located on the NY side of the tracks in the center of the platform. The ticket office is open during the week in the mornings. I always feel good about taking the train when it rolls by the Parkway and Turnpike and I see the traffic backed up in the morning. There are always seats available when getting on the train in Middletown. This is not always the case when getting on at either Hazlet or Matawan.
