If you can easily get to Camden otherwise great. Unfortunately, some of PATCO's Philly exits double as homeless shelters. You literally trip over the poor people sleeping on the floor exiting at 10th or 15th and Locust. DRPA (which runs PATCO) and the City have some lame arrangement where the City, not DRPA isn't responsible for foyers and exits once you leave the turnstiles. Which is to say, these are completely neglected by the City and are a public health hazard. The whole of the DRPA is set up to limit accountability because no one in charge other than the governors of either NJ and PA are elected. This has historically led to major problems of systemic neglect. Recently, however, the trains and tracks were renovated and an abandoned Center City station in Old City is being completely rebuilt. The system has no direct connection to either SEPTA Regional Rail or the National Transportation Grid, nor does it plan to.

I have used the lounge at 30th Street Station many times. I live and work in New York City. My…read moreelderly father is still on his own in Washington, D.C. I pass through Philadelphia en route. I often stop to visit with my oldest friend -- we were in high school together, she as a teacher (no, all wholesome, nothing risque). For that matter, I enjoy the city in general. It is great in its own right, overlooked because it is between the financial capitol and the political capitol of the nation, but it has museums (including the Mutter and the Rosenbach and now the Barnes), sports, music, and fine dining. The whole station is undergoing a multi year renovation. I assume they will upgrade the lounge as at Moynihan to the north, or perhaps they will rip out the benches as at Union Station to the south. The space is very long. You can easily find privacy to work or nap; I have never seen it crowded. There are two bonus features worth mentioning. The first is the conference room. You can reserve it for free. I have seen solo workers camped out, with equipment and papers spread out on the table. The second is the elevator system. They announce the trains. You can ride down to the platform, bypassing any need to line up. I regard 30th Street Station as another reason to like Philadelphia. The lounge is part of that.

This train station is small, but it serves its purpose…read more They have some benches and a little covered up booth for bad weather. They have a ticket booth as well, but it's not usually open. Loud speakers are built in and they notify you of arrival times. Close by is Snap pizza kitchen and Ardmore station cafe. There you can grab a quick bite to eat. The parking is fine. It can be a bit confusing. If you need to stay warm on freezing days they have a little tunnel that goes under the train tracks. You can stay there. It is usually crowded do come a bit early for a seat. In the summer time they sometimes have concerts in the parking lot behind the train station. If you have to park it may be a bit of a hassle, but it provides entertainment while you wait.

Let's just say there's nothing noticeable about the Ardmore train station environment; I would suspect that's a reasonable compliment as one might be prone to remember more negative aspects (e.g., litter) of train station ambiance. I certainly had issues locating parking, which reminds me of a wonderful saying: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded." - Yogi Berra Hopefully another reviewer might offer a helpful tip. I was looking for a quick place to park for 20 minutes and grab a cup of coffee while waiting to pick up a friend. I struggled.

If you want to pay cash make sure you use the correct machine one of them is cards only and the other one is cash or card. Was planning on paying in cash but use the wrong machine so I had to use a card. But it was easier than I thought to get the card and you can just tap it to check your balance. Have not tired the key out because I had a token to get ride but look forward to testing it out soon.
