This is one of the best train stations in the entire SEPTA system. I specifically looked for an…read moreapartment next to this station, because it is such an awesome station to be located near. I think this station is an incredible asset to the neighborhood. It was a major selling point of the apartment my girlfriend and I chose, and living next to it is a huge improvement in my quality of life. Train service here is excellent. Minus a few quirks, the trains generally run often enough that if you're headed into Philly, you can just show up at this station without checking a schedule, and you'll be guaranteed to get something usually with at most a 15 minute wait. Pick up a Glenside Combined schedule if you're only concerned about the trains going between this station and center city. (Glenside is one stop beyond this one) Going farther out into the suburbs, you get lots of options: the Doylestown, Warminster, and West Trenton lines all go through this station, and it's the last station before these three lines fork off. But another huge asset of train travel is the direct trains you get going "out the other side" of center city. Once the Jenkintown lines get to center city, they turn into other lines and head out to various destinations, including (a) Airport (b) Paoli/Thorndale (The main line) (c) Media / Elywn Line (which goes through 49th street in West Philly, and Swarthmore) (d) Marcus Hook/Wilmington/Newark DE (SW suburbs into Delaware), and (e) Trenton Transit Center (NJ, this station, and not West Trenton, connects with NJ Transit to NYC) All this means that, with careful checking of the schedule, you can get direct trips from Jenkintown to all of these destinations. Pretty awesome if you ask me. Yet another perk of this station? Great ticket counter hours. The ticket counter here sells all sorts of passes and tokens, and has very reasonable hours (open near rush hour weekdays and most of the day saturday), among the best hours of any station in the system. Yet another perk? You can often get a cab here at night, getting off the train on the Jenkintown side. Not quite guaranteed, but I've seen cabs waiting here more often than other suburban locations, where you usually need to call a cab. It keeps getting better. The SEPTA station provides a convenient pedestrian underpass while the Greenwood ave. bridge is under construction. An extra perk! And it's adjacent to the beautiful Ralph Morgan Park in Wynwood, a little greenway along Tacony creek with paved paths along both sides of the creek...saves you walking along the road about a third of the way to Glenside, and just a pleasant place to take a stroll. The only sad thing about this station...it used to have both a restaurant and a coffee shop in it...and both closed. This makes me really sad. I hope that some day, both can re-open because I feel like having a restaurant and a coffee shop in an awesome SEPTA station like this is just such a great idea, and again, a huge asset to the neighborhood. The closest cafe/restaurant is Linda Jean's, which I like very much, and recommend checking out (it's on the Wyncote side, on Greenwood ave.) if you haven't. But seriously this station is awesome!

Cost wise, if you are traveling solo, it is cheaper than driving with gas and tolls. If there's a few of us, we just consider it the cost of adventure travel. The train station is a bit tricky to find, as it's behind the big anchor stores. Parking overnight is OK; of course, park under a light, just in case. You buy your ticket at the machine, which is located inside a shelter, also useful if it's rainy, hot, humid, snowing, thundering, etc. Go online to check the schedule if you are smart so you don't have too long of a wait til the train arrives. Once you have your ticket, keep it on you and stick it on the little ticket slot on top of your seat. The conductor will swing by at some point before you arrive at your destination to punch it.

Amtrak tickets get a free SEPTA transfer to City Center (simply scan your ticket at the fare gate, entering and exiting). I needed assistance figuring out which train to take, and a staff member was readily available to advise to get me to my city destination. I also came here in the wee hours of the morning for a late night/early morning train. It's open 24/7 (with proof of ticket), and an officer did come around to verify that visitors had train tickets while waiting in the station. Only the 30th Street entrance is open between 1am-4am. I arrived a little before 1am, but the entrance doors on the other streets were already locked. It was a nice, quiet, and safe place to wait overnight. There's benches (with outlets) to stay charged while you wait. And there's WiFi! It was quite drafty on the benches - I guess they don't want you falling asleep! There was security present. An unruly guest was yelling and causing trouble, and the police asked him to leave. Gate entrances are clearly labeled and there's adequate screens around the station, including a giant screen for train information in the middle of the hall by the desk agents. They do have a food court here but it's currently under renovation. There were a few vending machines (the farmer's fridge type) for light bites. Bathrooms could have been cleaner. When I stopped by to use, half were shutdown due to cleaning in progress. The other half were typical public transportation, public restroom cleanliness... not great (looked like these were still waiting to be cleaned). While I waited, staff were cleaning up the train station. The floors were being polished, and even the benches were being dusted. They put in the work to keep it nice (at least in the main hall area), and it shows.

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.

Sure over the years things have been fixed up, upgraded and improved but at the core it's still the same old, now, 113 year old building. The future looks bright for Lansdale with a new parking structure coming that will increase the amount of available spaces by over 300 to around 900 and Septa is going to replace the area's traction power system which they inherited from the Pennsylvania Railroad that dates back to the '30's. What this type of investment means is that both SEPTA service and the station are going to be around for many years to come which is something that I look forward to as anytime I need to go to Center City this is my preferred way of doing it.
