Having never been to Philadelphia before I was a little wary and am so glad I booked this company. The owner answered so many questions before I arrived and on arrival I was given the drivers details who was brilliant. He picked us up and advised where we could meet after. As soon as the concert was finished he messaged me and let me know he had managed to get nearer. He got us out of the manic stadium area in minutes. They were very reasonable in comparison to other companies and genuinely seemed to care that we were safe and ok. Do not hesitate to use this wonderful trustworthy company I recommend them 100%!

Facilities are close to the railway line and called a roof to shield any prospective customers from the elements. (Note period) yep! That's it! Why five stars? Well, it works well for me as a spare station should the conductor forget to stop at New Britain after being asked to stop. It's far enough for me to express my displeasure to the conductor and move up the train to put my toes on a platform rather than drop the 3 ft onto stones. My expressed premise revolves around the fact some third world countries have better train systems and conductors than R5 in all its glory!

How do you end a call with "try to have a better day" with someone who just lost a love one? A tour director that is taking the easy way out by calling a guest instead of the family directly to have a conversation. My mother booked a bus tour/Norwegian Cruise tour with a group of old friends that was supposed to leave in September. Sadly, my mother recently passed away, but during the fight of her life she "missed" the cancellation day for Starr tours. Under these extenuating circumstances you would think a company would put people over profits. Not Starr tours. They are doubling down. When I called to plead with them a woman named Sandy kept referring to their policy instead of having compassion. She kept passing the buck saying it's not in her "scope" to make those kinds of decisions. When I asked to speak to someone who can make those decisions she decided to shield her bosses and say they aren't available. All she could end the conversation with was "try to have a better day." It was a cold conversation. Try to have a better day? I don't know how these people sleep at night. I hope their money keeps them warm at night. BTW Norwegian has a 30 day cancellation policy, so they have a chance to get money back out of this, but they clearly aren't working hard enough. I decided to take a trip to their company building to plead with them further. Sandy answered the door and reluctantly let me in after realizing who I was. I gave a copy of the death certificate and once again pleaded my case. I was given the same lip service, but that the person who could help me further wouldn't be in for the rest of the week. I patiently waited for a phone call from a Chris and still haven't received a call. If it's the same person this Chris called my mothers friend on the trip instead of me to let her know she would have to pay extra (over $1,300) for single occupancy on the trip OR we would have to find someone to buy my mothers trip (around $1,800). NO phone call to me as of yet. Also how do you do this to a grieving friend? They were friends for almost 60 years! How can these people be so cowardly? Where is the compassion? In the last few weeks I have had to deal with the unexpected loss of my mother and all of the funeral plans. Spending countless hours of time making the calls to various places to make them aware of her death and this company has the guts to do this. In the bio of the company the owner Sandy sounded so relatable. Her and her husband Pete had to fight, scratch and claw to keep their livelihood and company that her father built from the ground up alive during the pandemic. My mother fought so hard to save her life. I'm so sorry she couldn't call your company on time because she was too busy trying to live. In business you can't always point to policy. Beyond policy, how can you treat people like this and think it's ok? I hope the owner reads and fixes this because the staff is only making a terrible tragedy even worse! Don't force a grieving family to have to peddle my mothers trip. Do the RIGHT thing. Truly heartless and painful experience!

There's not much to write about this place, but here we go…read more Penllyn Station is a small facility with a parking lot of the same cute size and really no facilities sans for the station's office (I think) and covered platform. It even looked a bit abandoned. If there was an office there, it was not open. But, what it lacked in amenities was made up for by its convenient location as our family's house is literally a stroll away. Great for us but it must be so noisy living there. We departed from Philadelphia's Suburban Station which took less than an hour at a mere $6.75/person. On the way, I got to see parts of Philly I've never seen before, ditto for my spouse who's originally from the area. After arriving we needed to get to the opposite side of the tracks in which we used an underpass walkway that was close by, which thankfully was clean an uninhabited. OVERALL: I love no-crowds!

The big plus about Penllyn station is that it is free parking, while other stations charge $1…read more However, free parking comes at a price - the parking lot is in disrepair and so is the building itself. The parking situation is chaos, there are double parked cars pretty frequently and everyone is parking in every spot possible. There are quite a few "unmarked" parking spaces that people like to create. It's a bit confusing to drive to the other side of the station, but there is an underground stair well to get ot the other side. As for the little building itself, the heat is not always working, sometimes they forget to unlock the door, and sometimes homeless people like to spend the night. There is no ticket office at this station, but there's one of the new electronic kiosks (that I haven't used yet). Another downside is that not all Express trains during the rush hours stop at Penllyn. This station and Gwynedd Valley are the last two stations in Zone 3. Beyond this point, you're paying Zone 4 fare prices.

It's a simple set up and the team of Jake and Dennis worked well together preparing a French-based meal. 1 complimentary glass of wine, byob if you need more. We certainly appreciated the nuances of the meal being prepared. Our salads were fantastic. The shrimp soup tasted complex but was flat and needed a lot more seasoning. Our steak dinner was very similar. We appreciated the mushroom-based sauce and the steak was cooked perfectly. But again, the flavors were muted, nothing savory. The home made bread was excellent. Last was dessert. We are not a fan of pouring any kind of fruit sauce or drizzle on our chocolate... although the chocolate mousse itself was solid. The strawberry drizzle kinda ruined it for us. Again, we appreciated the experience and learned a few things. Definitely an experience I'd recommend once... and maybe we'll be back.

There is a small area that is warm and available for waiting when it gets cold.

If you live in the Doylestown area, the Septa Station in Doylestown is incredibly convenient to…read moreyou, but not so much to the major destinations to which you are heading. Parking: When you first pull in you'll think there are way too few parking spots. Don't be fooled. There are two lots: one that hosts the station itself and another on the opposite side of where the trains pull in. This second lot is much bigger. Parking is one dollar. They have digital devices that allow you to pay by credit card and just enter the number corresponding to your parking space. On the day I was here those machines were not working. Bring quarters just in case. They have an old fashioned wall of coin slots labeled by lot number. Distance: Doylestown isn't close to anything, and express trains are in shockingly short supply. Expect a trip just shy of two hours to get to 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. And most morning trains during the week will be crowded mid-way along the route. If you're looking for a shorter trip and maybe more express options, head for the Lansdale Station. Food: The Station Tap House is adjacent to the Septa Train Station. Kitchen quality varies: it's either very good bar food/sandwiches/appetizers or not so great. Huge beer selection and well-stocked bar options. Service is almost always very good. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Bonus: The Trans-Bridge Bus Stop is on the street next to the second, larger Septa Parking Lot. Rather than taking the train 1:45 minutes to 30th Street then switching trains to NYC, you can take the Trans-Bridge bus (think senior casino trip bus, but with Wi-Fi) to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in NYC near Times Square. Very convenient, comfortable and you're driven to Manhattan in just shy of 3 hours.
