    I noticed that most people gave this Amtrak station poor reviews. I guess I missed most of the drawbacks that others suffered through, so I can only report my experience. I scheduled and bought my ticket online which was extremely easy and convenient. Not to mention, reasonably priced! I had to leave from Elk Grove which required that I board a bus at an Amtrak only bus stop. From there, passengers were transported to the Stockton train station. As I got off the bus to wait for the train, I didn't face any rude people, transients, or any other scary situations. The train arrived on time, and was pretty full with passengers, but luckily, I found a seat and was able to place my pack back in an upper compartment & small piece of luggage at my feet. I was quite comfortable with plenty of leg room! I'm glad I decided to travel light, since people were having a hard time storing large bags in the luggage racks. My round trip train ride was relaxing and uneventful. The conductors were helpful and friendly. After checking my ticket, they place another ticket above your head to show that you are the occupant of that seat. I was impressed that the overhead announcements were loud and clear enough for passengers to hear! We always knew in advance when and where the next stop was going to happen, so you could prepare in advance to disembark. I also appreciated that Amtrak offers free WiFi and outlets near the window seats to plug in laptops and charge cell phones! There is also a food & beverage car. Restrooms are small! When I first decided to take this train trip, I was nervous and worried that It would be a complicated endeavor. But Amtrak had it all organized for me with straight forward directions and continuous updates via email & text message. I really enjoyed my mini vacation and now I'm thinking of ways for more train destinations in the future!

    I was not at this location long enough to really get a good idea on how the crewmembers are that were working this particular evening shift when I went here last night. I was only at the station for about 10 minutes waiting for my daughter. This is of course a smaller hub station and from what I notice the trains just pretty much stopped for about a 10 minute grace period for a passenger loading and unloading. The lobby was empty. It seemed as though it was kept clean there were one or two vending machines located inside as well. I notice about three associates behind the counter which is secured with metal bars. I can't say that it's located in a decent area of Stockton but it's good to see that Amtrak is available to the city. I also noticed that there is A taxi that was on site as well as Stockton Amtrak police. So that adds to a little bit of semi secureness while being at this location

    The interior and exterior of Stockton train station is/ was very clean. No people just hanging about - person behind the counter was friendly and nice. Mostly very quiet, no loud people or the like - maybe everybody is so subdued due to it being a Monday Morning. I bought my tickets on line - which was easy to do.

    This Amtrak station is in South Stockton , and although the staff is friendly, this is a rough looking train station, I am happy to report I spent no more than 10 minutes and that's with coming and going haha. But this was my stop, I enjoyed the ride, I didn't get hit up by the crack hoe or pimps outside, so all in all it was a good day. Just try not to loiter, make sure your ride to pick you up is there when you arrive, but not too early so they don't get harassed outside and get dropped off close to the time your train will arrive. Just be safe and watch your surroundings.

    I frequently catch a ride southbound from the South station and catch a bus here to connect northbound. I agree that the location is in a lower socioeconomic neighborhood but in commuting Amtrak for 10 years and often using this location, I have only came across homeless people that don't try to engage with anyone. For what it's for, the station serves its purpose. As a main hub serving south bound riders and northern riders to the Bay Area and Sacramento/northern California, it could use some station upgrades for the comfort that many people seek. The station staff are helpful and friendly but to also include Amtrak security/police as I've seen across many other California stations (Oakland, LA union station, Sacramento) will make a huge difference in providing a sense of secure well being for passengers.

    Two stars only because this location is not what I would call very welcoming to Stockton. It's rough neighborhood, and all I can say is that it really is not Amtrak's fault for the way the station looks. It is old, and has been through allot as most of the town has been. But like most of my reviews, there are some good, some bad to most places. The Good The staff without a question is the bravest souls to be working there around the clock. They have to be tough and nice all at once, please don't think that the Staff is being rude to you, they see allot of rude and ungrateful people every day, they are not used to seeing our meeting nice people. The Bad The location is maybe the worst part of this place, with it stuck on the wrong end of town, it's not rare to see or hear gunfire in this neighborhood. Not allot of security or police at this location. So all I can tell you is that if your traveling or know someone who is, tell them to be careful.
