There's nothing luxury about the station, but being able to pick up AMTRAK without driving into…read morePhilly is a luxury to me. Parking isn't great, even with the overflow lot. The vending machine is appreciated. In the winter, they have a few heat lamps by the tracks, which is a nice touch. During business hours, you also have the option to sit inside to avoid the weather. The new structure to get to the tracks is fine but the elevators don't always work. I've carried heavy suitcases up and down stairs for elderly people on multiple occasions because of this. Honestly I don't fault the station workers at all. They're doing the best they can. Amtrak and SEPTA need more funding. This place is basic. There's literally only one platform but I notice a lot of first time riders getting confused, maybe because it's Amtrak and SEPTA combined? I would suggest adding more signage.

This station is simple and does the job. Trains come and get you…read more I highly suggest you get there at least 30 minutes before your train arrives. You will have to walk up two flights of stairs or take an elevator to get to the train tracks. From there you will take a different set of stairs or elevator to get you to the track. But, if you follow the guidelines on when to arrive, you should have no problem and should be on time. One thing about this station is that there is not a real good area to protect you from the elements. There is one enclosed area that has 2-3 heating elements but, the entrance and exit to the area is open so if it is windy it will not protect you from that. There is minimal seating available. It just is not a bells and whistle type of station. But, it does what it needs to do. It is fairly clean, and there is enough parking available. It is easy to get to and a great station for those around who want to avoid taking their car into Philly to catch a train.

I really don't have a problem here. Keep in mind that this review is after riding at the station…read moreduring COVID quite a number of times. So it's much quieter and parking is easier. But overall I'm happy because it's located in a nice area. It's also an express stop so it's open during COVID while other stations are closed. Conveniently, there's a PNC branch located next to the parking lot which is great if you are grabbing cash to spend in Chinatown- which frequently does not take card. I have no issues parking here. And as far as the people that frequent the station, they are not ruffians. And the station is kept clean. It's also so close to Philadelphia that you'll be there after about a 10-minute ride. Like many of the PATCO stations, waiting on the platform outside provides a nice breeze and lots of shade during the summer time!

Traveled from Los Angeles to Philly this holiday (with my sons) and rode Septa out of Warminster…read moreseveral times over the course of ten days. We traveled from PHL airport to Warminster upon arrival, rode to 30th Street station (from Warminster) to visit the Mutter Museum, took Septa to Fern Rock then the Broadway subway to the stadium for an Eagles Game (GO BIRDS!) and finally Warminster back to PHL to fly home. Each ride was SPECTACULAR! Friendly and knowledgeable conductors, clean cars, and a smooth (cost effective) ride. It was extremely easy, safe and an enjoyable experience all around! Thank you Septa and staff!!

This is right off…read moreexit 32 of 295: from northern Burlington / southern Mercer county it's only about a 30 minute drive and then you're at 8th & market in 15-20. We can drive in Philly just fine, we're used to crappy roads, crazy drivers, traffic etc. But why bother when you can get a round trip patco ticket for $6 and park for free after 10 am at this station? Parking is ample with decent lighting to boot. Some of it is covered. They also just freshened up the interior of the place a bit, so it feels a bit more welcoming and clean. PATCO as whole is cleaner & nicer than SEPTA. We did see a cop riding around the lot tonight. Good thing because we've also seen random guys checking for open car doors in the past. Oh well, life isn't without risk. Consider Woodcrest station next time you want to go to center city. It's a lot less hassle without the tolls, traffic, parking & the PPA.

What can you say about a high speed line train station?…read more Well in my case quite a bit. First, if you are looking for a convenient and truly bargain priced way to enter the City of Brotherly Love it doesn't get better than PATCO!!! Six bucks for a round trip!!! The bridge cost into Philly is $5 and parking rates usually start around $8/hour if space is available. PATCO has somehow managed to keep the price super cheap but maybe that is in part due to my super high New Jersey tax bill. Now convenience doesn't get better than the Woodcrest PATCO unless you live within walking distance of another station! The WOODCREST Station has its very own exit off of I-295. I am surprised that some Jersey politico hasn't convinced the governing powers to give the exit their name but no matter take the Woodcrest Exit and drive straight into the massive FREE (Except between 7am & 10pm weekdays) parking lot. During the work week 9-5 hours parking is hard to find but shouldn't you be working then too? Woodcrest Station's parking lot provides a clear view of the elevated tracks so you can see your train leaving as you walk towards the station, which happened to me today necessitating a 30 minute wait for the next train. PATCO trains run a regular schedule that I have always found to be quite accurate. The station itself well it's nothing to write home about and an astute (its in the dictionary) reviewer would probably say BLAH while giving only a star or two but to me a train station review needs to cover start to finish. So there are no galleries to stroll through, no day old bakery wares being sold as fresh with a cup of "joe," and not even a heated lounge to sit in. They do have a dusty old American flag stretched out by the stairs, whose purpose I could not discern because it had patriotic potential even though unclean but it could be an artistic commentary for just that very reality in its appearance. Stark with steps and escalating steps (they worked) to take travelers to the train platform. Before heading up to the train I have a couple of issues with ticketing. : Right now I have FOURTEEN Susan B Anthony Dollar coins in my pocket!!! Did you even know they still minted those? If you use cash ... and I did ... the machines only give coins in return and of course where once we paid a human to sell tickets in today's world the machine is it. The second issue is only related to newbie PATCO riders and it has to do with the flimsy paper ticket you are issued. There are no instructions but what one needs to know is that ticket not only gets you into the stations' inner sanctums where you board trains but at the end of the ride you will need it to return to the non-train world. Throw it away because you think it has only a get on purpose will lead to more money being spent to escape. They really need guidelines or a message on the tickets!! So let's up to our train ... at the top of the stairs/escalator is a small enclosed hallway where riders can stand out of the elements. It is very clean and welcoming with paper schedules scotch taped to the wall (come on folks you can do better) but the schedule was helpful and accurate. You can also brave the elements out on the platform where there are benches. There was also an emergency call box that I was attempted to test for the sake of the review but misuse of emergency devices might carry a fine so I just noted the button is there. The trains are clean and provide a comfortable ride. Be sure to check out the USS New Jersey moored on the Delaware as you move between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. A good ride folks and a reminder that public transportation can be your best choice ... Now where did I put that ticket?

I had a bit of a problem looking for the entrance - I am used to looking for the entrance on the corner, but the entrance I found was a bit farther down. Just look for the giant round green sign.

Of all the Philly PATCO stops, 15-16th station is my favorite…read more It's not quite as obnoxiously crowded as 8th and Market, and if you miss the train (which I do, all of the GD time!), another train will appear shortly. On weekends, they sit here even longer. You're basically guaranteed a seat when you hop on here, even if it's a sardine car. I find it generally better to sit inside of the train while I wait for it to head to Jersey rather than wait for it to arrive on the platform. Creepy people have a way of finding me and this holds true in PATCO stations. If I'm standing away from the crowd, some dude will invariably come up and hover in my personal space while staring me down. Go away, yes? But anyway, this station has ample entrances in the vicinity and the payment kiosks always seem to work. It's a good and easy transport option if you're heading across the river.
