We recently went on the Wilmington & Western RR for the Xmas train right after Xmas. I ordered…read moretickets with ease online and then had no problems with getting our tickets at the train station. Everyone is extremely helpful especially after my little one left something of importance on the train...big thanks! The train ride was great and the seats are very comfy. The Xmas decorations by the community were great and we loved shopping at the train station gift shop. They even had a cute coffee food truck outside. They allow food/drinks on board the train.

Small parking lot that fills up early, usually before 7 am. The parking lot is so small, I'm not…read moresure how cars can pass each other, it feels like it's a one way road. The station itself is non-existent except for something akin to a bug shelter. There is no ticket office and there is only a money box for you to insert quarters (or an envelope for money). Following the directions on the SEPTA website, I did park my car for several nights at this station as I took the train to the airport - you basically need to insert an envelope and check into the parking payment thing that clearly states your car and how many nights you will be parked. Seems a bit primitive given our technology these days, but hey it worked! This is also the last stop in Zone 3, so anything beyond this is Zone 4 pricing which is a few bucks higher.

This is just a train stop. Quite literally. There's no ticket booth, no customer service, nothing…read more Just a tiny open sitting area so don't expect to be sheltered from the elements (cold or hot) once you get here. There is parking but it's normally filled up with people commuting towards Philly. If you do want to park there, make sure to take quarters with you (4 to be exact) and find the big, thin, inconspicuous box with coin slots to drop in your quarters into the appropriate number to pay for parking. It's $1/day so that's nice. Also, make sure to take with you cash to pay for your fare because the train conductors don't take credit cards. Trains are normally not on time (aka late anywhere from 2-3 mins to 15-20 mins). This is what passes as public transportation here.

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.

So why would I want to review a SEPTA Station? It's simple; folks on the main line think that the…read moretrain to take into the city is the R5. They are correct in that it will get you there. But what about convenience? Almost all the R5 stations charge for parking. Ughh! Next you need to change trains at a big station like 30th Street or Suburban to get to restaurant row. Not necessarily a pleasant experience! Now let's talk about Ardmore Junction. It's on the Norristown High Speed Line. Let me say that again; it's fast! Parking is free which is a big plus. You change trains at 69th street in Upper Darby to the Market-Frankford line. It's a very easy change. Now you have access to all of the Market, Chestnut, and Walnut Street restaurants. If you are on the mainline, do yourself a favor and think about the Norristown High Speed Line the next time you consider going into the city.

On our way back to DC from New York, my mom, sister, and I stopped over in Philadelphia for a…read morecouple of days. We stayed with a friend in the suburb of Media (the first American fair trade town and home of a big FBI scandal in the 70s), and in order to get to downtown Philadelphia, we had to take the Regional Rail train from Media Station, a 40 minute commute. Unfortunately the train only ran once an hour, but it was quite reliable. Media Station is small, but it was comfortable, with benches and indoor seating, and most important of all, a bathroom. Ed, the ticket agent, was friendly and helpful, and very patient with my mom, who asked him a billion questions. Although the train runs seven days a week until quite late at night, the sales office is only open Monday to Friday, from 5:15am to 11:15am. However, you can purchase tickets on the train.

It also stops at other center city stations, to connect with regional rail and subway lines. This line does not go directly to the airport. You are better off getting a taxi or private car for the time it would take to make connections for the airport. * * * TIP * * * There is a GREAT convenience store up the hill and across the bridge to your left, Kovac's. These are the BEST hoagies around!!! We don't just go there when we have to catch a train; they are on my list for top hoagies in the whole Phila area. This historical station has been around a LONG time and little has changed. See vintage postcards I am posting.
