While staying in South Philadelphia West, SEPTA NRG Station not only was within an accessible…read moredistance from my hotel (Radisson Hotel Philadelphia), but the commute connected me to SEPTA Olney Station which is near the starting line for Independence Blue Cross Broad Street 10 Mile Run. If you are looking for an easy way to get downtown, yet with time to spare it is an accessible transit with several stops in between that will connect you to sights known to the city of Philadelphia. SEPTA NRG Station is a very well-maintained station that also serves as an exit stop to sporting venues, like Xfinity Live! (NBC Sports Arena), Citizens Bank Park, Lincoln Financial Field, and Wells Fargo Center which are all located in the heart of South Philadelphia. While in the area after completing Independence Blue Cross Broad Street 10 Mile Run, I could not help but sense that Philadelphia is a city that loves its sporting teams, as like Chicago, the city where I am from. Being that I have had nothing but pleasant commutes, I would gladly commute from SEPTA NRG Station again, as well as recommend it to anyone visiting the city of Philadelphia for anything aforementioned. ~ Be Kind.

Beyond the transit, going here is generally not by choice. The terminal is frequently littered with empty airplane shooters, vape packages, and Dunkin bags. SEPTA personnel generally don't do much for you if there isn't an opportunity for them to make money, and they're few and far between at this station. Not only is the terminal located in a bad area, Broad & Olney has become notorious as a hotbed for crime independent of the transportation center. Crime is taking the place of business, as the intersection used to be lined with shops and restaurants that have since closed and run for the hills. All in all, if you need to take a bus, try to catch it at another stop before the transportation center. You'll be more likely to get a seat and you'll save yourself the aggravation of being here. If you're taking the BSL, though not much of an upgrade, you may be better off just going up to Fern Rock.

You can also link to the Broad Street Spur or the El here. If you're out late at night on a weekend, you can expect massive crowds. I can't begin to tell you how many times drunken people heading back across the bridge have casually walked into me without apology while I waited for the train. For this reason, I prefer the other stations -- in particular 15/16 and Locust -- much more. Otherwise, this spot is decent. I'm glad it exists, but I wish it could undergo a remodel. It needs one desperately.

I am always so happy to see historical buildings saved, especially when it comes to trains. The demolition of NYC's Penn Station for Madison Square Garden is a travesty that hurts my heart so I appreciate that this station, which was once a station for the Pennsylvania Railroad, is still in tact. However, the station is showing some wear and tear and would benefit from a facelift. With Philly hosting FIFA World Class Soccer, the MLB All Star games and other events for America's 250th, I thought maybe there would be some renovations to the station. Unfortunately, the food court is closed so the only options for food and drinks are Dunkin Donuts and a newspaper stand. There is an ongoing renovation but I can't tell exactly what has been done. i will say, it was nice to see the station from about a block away - the exterior is lovely. The trains all board under the station so it's convenient that you don't have to walk too far to get on your train like you would at a stub-end station. For those needing assistance, Amtrak offers a "Red Cap" service. Getting down the escalators and down the platform can be a bit of survival of the fittest so asking for help will get you escorted down the elevator to your train car without battling the masses. Red Cap will also take care of your bags. The waiting room is large as are the bathrooms. They also have some nice exhibits about the station and its artwork. I'm looking forward to returning to see how the renovations turned out. I am hoping that the food court will reopen and maybe even offer some local eateries.

You cannot enter the subway station from Race St. -- only by Vine St. Why can't SEPTA at least put in a token machine? Why must I walk all the way to City Hall Station if I'm out of tokens?

I mean he knows all the freaking trains and stops in Boston. When he knew we were traveling to a new city he had an agenda : ride the subway trains and buy the subway trains. AT THIS PLACE YOU CAN DO BOTH. There is even a trolley on the bottom floor that you can climb in and pretend to drive. At Christmas it was nicely decorated too. I don't think he will ever forget. We bought a bus , a girard green trolley and a subway (which happens to be the market line) We are enablers. If you are a train enthusiast , they sell $$$ model trains. And mugs that say I love trains ! And lots of other things. Oh and they have Thomas trains and a train table. I can't believe this place exists. MBTA get with the program.
