For the end of a major line in Chicago, this station meets those goals. No bathroom but that is…read moreexpected since every CTA station is restroom less. There is a store inside the building that has food that's kinda overpriced. Bring cash if your total is under $1 because they charge a dollar with card. The elevator isn't what people say it is. It's fairly large and serves its purpose. There are 2 benches in the building and a few more outside, however, the benches inside are past the turnstiles, which means you can't use them unless you pay. There is also multiple Pace Bus Routes, like the 301 that takes you from Forest Park to Wheaton Metra, or 303 which takes you to Rosemont. Very good station

The last time I used the lot and returned around midnight, the parking lot lights were ALL turned OFF. Was scary spooky. Also some sketchy characters hanging around the station. Be advised that there are actually two lots: One is CTA, I think run by a contractor. The other is owned by the town of Forest Park - which does not respond to email inquiries. There are much better run, more accommodating, safer CTA stations with parking which I have experienced, but for those in the area, you're stuck. ps: The Yelp form just asked about "Gender Neutral Restrooms" - there are NO restrooms of any kind at ANY CTA stations!

There are a couple of machines that take cash or card for payment. New cards are $5. To enter you place your card on the sensor and it allows to let the turnstile open for you. I was traveling to Clark/Lake street, which happens to be a popular station. At first, I was a bit worried that my mid size suitcase may cause a hamper and be in the way, but it was just fine. The train was a nice size so I wasn't uncomfortable. Before each stop an announcement is made to name the stop location and the side of the train to exit. Lake street happens to be a popular stop so there was a mass exit of riders. This stop had escalators but the last place I had to exit was a stairway. Good thing I like going to the gym. Overall, a great experience.

When I lived in Old Irving Park, I took the Blue line from Montrose. 30 Minutes.

This train station is always clean, NEVER too crowded, and feels very safe - I've seen police officers patrolling here at peak hours, even though it's a nice neighborhood to begin with.

I am writing specifically about the railroad crossing located at Oak Park and Shakespeare Avenue where this station is located. Seriously, the most horrifying and dangerous train tracks that I have ever had the misfortune of driving across. Three times now, completely unaware, while on the tracks without previous warning, I have nearly missed death. The bells and the gate did not come down until I was on the tracks! I have never ever experienced this at any other railroad crossing! To see the train barreling towards you, while on the tracks is seriously one of the scariest heart stopping moments I've ever had the misfortune of feeling. I literally feel as as if I am flying in the air with how hard the pedal hits the medal. The first time, I thought that it was just fate...3 times..you have to wonder what is up???
