    Chestnut Hill West is a very nice station compared to other Septa stations. There is covered…read moreseating and an inside waiting area, plenty of parking, and the station is accessible. Although the trains generally leave on time, Septa uses the extra space here for equipment storage, so every once and a while the train will be delayed by twenty minutes or more. The regular crew at this location is consistently nice and know what they're doing. For the most part if you smile and try to be friendly, you'll make their day and your commute much nicer. The best part about this station is that it is just steps away from beautiful Chestnut Hill so it is a great regional rail destination.

    I like the Chestnut Hill West Station for a number of reasons…read more.. 1. It is the first/last station on the line. You can arrive prior to your train's departure and wait INSIDE of the train instead of waiting out in the elements (although, yes, there is covered outdoor seating as well, if your train has not yet arrived). You also get your choice of seats. 2. It is extremely proximate to two primo coffee shops (Starbucks & Chestnut Hill Coffee Shop). A nice hot cup-o-joe is good company on the quiet ride car. 3. Conductors are generally pretty nice. There is still the oddball who asks you for your pass three times before you get to center city, but for the most part they are pleasant and reasonable. 4. You rarely see an old POS train run on this line anymore. The trains are in decent condition and kept fairly clean. 5. It's a cool old fashioned train station! I took a star away because, face it, it's still SEPTA. They can be quite heartless on the days that you're running late, soaked to the bone, screaming, crying, etc. SEPTA runs on SEPTA's schedule only. This means that whether they are 35 minutes late or 2 minutes early- they are still on time, per SEPTA. Better make it because those doors never reopen for anyone!

    There's not much to write about this place, but here we go…read more Penllyn Station is a small facility with a parking lot of the same cute size and really no facilities sans for the station's office (I think) and covered platform. It even looked a bit abandoned. If there was an office there, it was not open. But, what it lacked in amenities was made up for by its convenient location as our family's house is literally a stroll away. Great for us but it must be so noisy living there. We departed from Philadelphia's Suburban Station which took less than an hour at a mere $6.75/person. On the way, I got to see parts of Philly I've never seen before, ditto for my spouse who's originally from the area. After arriving we needed to get to the opposite side of the tracks in which we used an underpass walkway that was close by, which thankfully was clean an uninhabited. OVERALL: I love no-crowds!

    The big plus about Penllyn station is that it is free parking, while other stations charge $1…read more However, free parking comes at a price - the parking lot is in disrepair and so is the building itself. The parking situation is chaos, there are double parked cars pretty frequently and everyone is parking in every spot possible. There are quite a few "unmarked" parking spaces that people like to create. It's a bit confusing to drive to the other side of the station, but there is an underground stair well to get ot the other side. As for the little building itself, the heat is not always working, sometimes they forget to unlock the door, and sometimes homeless people like to spend the night. There is no ticket office at this station, but there's one of the new electronic kiosks (that I haven't used yet). Another downside is that not all Express trains during the rush hours stop at Penllyn. This station and Gwynedd Valley are the last two stations in Zone 3. Beyond this point, you're paying Zone 4 fare prices.
