When measuring some of the other stations on the Amtrak line, this one is a little more gnarly. This doubles as the Greyhound terminal. As some reviewers have pointed out there are some interesting characters, but I do find it safe Pros: +The facility works. Easy to get on and off the train. +Maybe it was it was just the days of my visit, but I found the rest facilities well kept. +Plenty of seating. No issues there. +Unlike a plane you do not have to arrive hours in advance. They will let you board up to five minutes prior to depature time Cons: -Those inexperienced with Amtrak might feel totally lost on what to do when they get to the station. It's not like an airport where everything is spelled out, and there's not a concrete necessity to do any kind of pre-check in. That may prove challenging for those who get any anxiety when travelling -The entrance is a PAIN to find, even with GPS. First timers should give themselves ample time to find the place -Not a huge fan of parking situation. Would recommend uber or friends for pick up and drop offs. Bottom line: Its not as nice as travelling out of an airport, but I was pleased. Would travel out of here again

Sleeper room. Super private and quiet with a door that locks.

This is the closest Metrolink station to the Gateway Arch and to the hotel that I stayed at in St…read more Louis. There are separate entrances depending on which direction you are traveling, so check to see if you are entering the westbound or eastbound entrance. Given the location to the Arch, I found this station pretty sketchy. It is operational and not derelict, but it is in need of a deep clean as it has the foul odor of urine. I avoided lugging my carry-on on its floors and opted to carry it to avoid its stench. Wait times for a train are about 20 minutes, so I would check the train schedule to spend as little time here as necessary or get on at another stop that is not as suspect. The Convention Center stop is marginally better if you do not mind walking a few blocks north.

Welcome to downtown Saint Louis! This station is one of the only two in the entire Metrolink…read morenetwork that has an escalator (the other is at Convention Center). It is the station closest to the famous Gateway Arch and there is signage pointing the way. It was opened in 1993. There are the usual ticket vending machines. Metrolink is a proof-of-payment system meaning that there are no turnstiles and you must validate your ticket before boarding the train. The station has side platforms, which means that the doors will open on the right. It is on the section of the Metrolink that services both the Red and Blue Lines, where it is between Stadium (towards Airport and Shrewsbury-Landsdowne) and Convention Center (towards Shiloh-Scott and Fairview Heights). The station is fully disabled accessible though there are multiple exits and only some are so configured. At street level, you'll find apartments, office buildings and retail shopping.

Saint Louis is about as close as you can get - the station is right across the street from New Busch. Great signage and plenty of space for big crowds coming and going. Vending machines for tickets and it's easy to know which way to go. I think they run extra trains on game day. It's not hard to follow all the red jerseys into the ballpark. Enjoy the game!

It is easy to get to and is on the honor system. This station has a kiosk at the top of the stairs that you purchase your fare from. Only ticketed passengers are supposed to be on the train platform, but I did not see that being enforced or checked. They do have some security people walking around the station on occasion, but they really kept to themselves. This station lets off right at Busch Stadium. Gateway Arch Park and the Old Courthouse is within walking distance of the station. Luckily, I was here while the Cardinals were on the road. I can imagine that this place gets crazy on game days due to its sheer convenience. Now the bad. While on the train, I saw a fight, someone smoking (I do not know what they were smoking), someone playing loud music from their phone, and someone drinking alcohol. It was wild. Anyway, the train was pretty close to its scheduled time and was relatively clean, all things considered. Would I ride this train again...Yes, you can not beat riding all around town for $5 for a day. I would just caution you that you will more than likely encounter some shady characters on the train and at the station, so just beware.

A center-island platform with exits at both ends, the track is exposed to the air but is below the street level. That means you'll still get rained on but at least the wind would be minimal. At the one entrance I utilized, they have placed two of the ticket vending kiosks. There is an elevator at this end and it was definitely a wet floor. Sad. The station is not staffed. There is an overhead display with the current time but it did not have any indicator of the time until the next train. Union Station is between Grand (westbound) and Civic Center (eastbound). It is on the part of the Metrolink that serves both the blue and red lines. [Review 14431 overall, 1757 of 2020, number 65 in Missouri.]

This location is located 1 block from the Drury-Union Station and is only $4 from the airport, and $2.50 to the airport as opposed to a coat of $40-50 each way by taxi. Trains come every 10 mins peak time and every 20 min off peak, so plan accordingly. There seems to be a security guard stationed here every time I go, so take that for what it's worth. As with every mode of public transportation, always keep your head on a swivel.
