Beautiful new station that will be underutilized, until NJ Transit rewards the Atlantic City line…read morewith a schedule that actually runs trains. That said, we came from North Jersey for a weekend in Center City Philadelphia. Hotel parking was $42/night, so we opted to use the PTC as a park and ride. Ample FREE parking here with security cameras, and elevators with raised platforms at trains for easy access with bags. We timed our arrival here with the ACL train to 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, which is only a one stop, twenty minute train ride. On the Saturday of that weekend, we left our hotel to come back here but had to plan our journey back around the sporadic ACL train schedule. Once here, we dropped bags off in the car, and walked right back to the station to board the RiverLine which is the light rail which runs through here enroute to Camden from Trenton. That night there was a concert on the Camden Waterfront and it was the way to go. So my point is, if you're seeing a show in Camden or spending a night in Philly, check this place out but also check those schedules!

Passed through here on my way home to South Jersey recently. It had just opened that weekend and…read morethis was changing my route up a little. I took the Riverline from Trenton to here to make the connection to NJT train, instead of connecting in Philly. It was slightly more convenient but not very. I had about 4 min to make my connection, so thankfully they had signs posted, pointing me in the direction of the platform. I ran right past the ticket machines, assuming there would be 1 on the platform. There was not. There was no time to go back down the 2 flights of stairs to get a ticket, so I boarded without. Please make sure you buy your tickets before going up to the platform, there is a $5 surcharge for tickets purchased on board. That's damn near double my ticket! I didn't get to explore much but what I could make out (while making a mad-dash), was pretty nice. Let's see how long that lasts!

Used SEPTA for the first time today and they actually had an attendant working the ticket station…read more(not used to that in Boston). She approached me and offered advice for which ticket to purchase with the new SEPTA key, how much to purchase down to the penny to ensure every pass I use will deduct down to zero instead of some odd amount, and how to register my card and get $4.95 back. Surprised how easy she made it. Subway car came on schedule, was clean with seating, had AC, and was much quicker than the T in Boston. Station was typical to expect for public transit in a non financial or tourist area: its a little dirty outside the gates and has its regulars around the station.

This is one of the best train stations in the entire SEPTA system. I specifically looked for an…read moreapartment next to this station, because it is such an awesome station to be located near. I think this station is an incredible asset to the neighborhood. It was a major selling point of the apartment my girlfriend and I chose, and living next to it is a huge improvement in my quality of life. Train service here is excellent. Minus a few quirks, the trains generally run often enough that if you're headed into Philly, you can just show up at this station without checking a schedule, and you'll be guaranteed to get something usually with at most a 15 minute wait. Pick up a Glenside Combined schedule if you're only concerned about the trains going between this station and center city. (Glenside is one stop beyond this one) Going farther out into the suburbs, you get lots of options: the Doylestown, Warminster, and West Trenton lines all go through this station, and it's the last station before these three lines fork off. But another huge asset of train travel is the direct trains you get going "out the other side" of center city. Once the Jenkintown lines get to center city, they turn into other lines and head out to various destinations, including (a) Airport (b) Paoli/Thorndale (The main line) (c) Media / Elywn Line (which goes through 49th street in West Philly, and Swarthmore) (d) Marcus Hook/Wilmington/Newark DE (SW suburbs into Delaware), and (e) Trenton Transit Center (NJ, this station, and not West Trenton, connects with NJ Transit to NYC) All this means that, with careful checking of the schedule, you can get direct trips from Jenkintown to all of these destinations. Pretty awesome if you ask me. Yet another perk of this station? Great ticket counter hours. The ticket counter here sells all sorts of passes and tokens, and has very reasonable hours (open near rush hour weekdays and most of the day saturday), among the best hours of any station in the system. Yet another perk? You can often get a cab here at night, getting off the train on the Jenkintown side. Not quite guaranteed, but I've seen cabs waiting here more often than other suburban locations, where you usually need to call a cab. It keeps getting better. The SEPTA station provides a convenient pedestrian underpass while the Greenwood ave. bridge is under construction. An extra perk! And it's adjacent to the beautiful Ralph Morgan Park in Wynwood, a little greenway along Tacony creek with paved paths along both sides of the creek...saves you walking along the road about a third of the way to Glenside, and just a pleasant place to take a stroll. The only sad thing about this station...it used to have both a restaurant and a coffee shop in it...and both closed. This makes me really sad. I hope that some day, both can re-open because I feel like having a restaurant and a coffee shop in an awesome SEPTA station like this is just such a great idea, and again, a huge asset to the neighborhood. The closest cafe/restaurant is Linda Jean's, which I like very much, and recommend checking out (it's on the Wyncote side, on Greenwood ave.) if you haven't. But seriously this station is awesome!
