We have taken these trains into New York from Hamilton many times and they are always on time, clean and have lots of seats available. The ticket prices are very reasonable. read more

I am in and out this station frequently. The waiting area and entrances are always clean. The station is well lit and elevators consistently work. The escalators work sporadically. The station is presently under construction. Hamilton Station Park & Ride has a 24 hour public parking for up to 21 consecutive days available. Please arrive early, it's complicated to get a spot. 4 Stars because parking is complicated. read more

Parking is horrendous. Picking up someone at train station is a mess especially around holidays. People pay no attention to rules. Where's the police to keep these folks in something civilized? read more

A much better alternative to the Trenton Transit Station for sure. That said, given the volume of traffic moving through this station, the station building itself needs to be expanded. Seating is at a premium. Bathrooms don't come close to accommodating the crowds and the Dunkin inside the building is your only food/beverage option. That said, there is lots of surface and garage parking. read more

Easy to travel to and from NYC from this train station. The station has bathrooms available and they were clean. The parking garage was easy to navigate as well. The only thing that was an issue was on the way back a young man late teens, early twenties was having a cell phone conversation on speaker. It was such a loud conversation. Myself and other passengers were visibly annoyed. When did having phone conversations in public using the speaker phone become acceptable? This is not the first time I've experienced this. Please use earbuds and be kind and considerate of others around you. read more

My first time back here since 2018. It's changed a bit. Unless you are staying monthly, you have to park in their garage, which Im not too keen on. $10 Automated train tickets unless you get some app. This trip is a somber, unplanned, one so no app for me. I'm thankful for this station because I have never driven to NYC, nor have designs to. Clean from what I saw and remember. read more

pretty good regular service and clean easy to take. I'll be using again in the future read more

Getting out is a bit cumbersome. Even at off rush hour. Tight especially when cars are on their way up to find spots.

This is a really great option if you're going to NYC and don't want to drive. The station is clean and safe. You can park your car for $8 for the whole day. There's a parking garage or a lot. The parking garage fills up quickly during the work week. The station has bathrooms and you can wait inside too. Overall, a great option. read more

If you are heading to New York from south Jersey Hamilton station is the way to go. It's easy access from 295, easy parking and clean. read more

Hamilton Train Station - Train Stations Near Me - Hamilton Township, New Jersey

This is a great way to get to NYC! It's about 30 min from Philadelphia. I drive here, pay $8 to park for the day and hop on the train for $32.50 round trip. The station is clean, has a bathroom and a Snack stand. The parking lot is indoor. The only down side is the station doesn't have an employee or security there at night. Better to have someone with you although a lot of other people get off groan on the weekends. read more

This train station has gone downhill terribly. It is always dirty. The escalators are down until I believe 2026 from the signs posted. The elevators are routinely broken, or run so slowly they may as well be broken. This is not the station to use if you have any mobility issues or are traveling with a lot of luggage. For the amount you pay for parking and the ticket on the train this station should be in much better shape. NJ Transit please do better! read more

Pro: The gateway to New York! Hamilton Train Station is a good option for those wanting to travel to the city without: a) dealing with Manhattan road traffic, b) taking out a home equity loan just to pay for parking, and c) don't want to get stuck in the congestion that the bridges and tunnels subject you to! In about 90 minutes from departure, you'll be pulling into Penn Station (right under Madison Square Garden) and free to enjoy NYC at your leisure. Con: This only takes you to midtown Manhattan. If you're trying to get uptown, the other boroughs, or lower Manhattan, you better walk, cab, or Uber it. Bottom Line: Day trip to the city! Take the train and avoid some of the hassle. read more

Best way to get to go between Newark Liberty International Airport and Bucks or Mercer counties is to travel through Hamilton Station. It's conveniently located off I295, or a short ride from US1. We're fortunate to have family members who can pick us up or drop us off here. It's a lot better than having to use the Trenton Station like we did before Hamilton Station was built. The Station itself is bright, airy, and clean. There's a snack bar. For trips into New York City, there's parking at a daily rate of $8. read more

This is the most "convenient" NJT train for pretty much all of south jersey/pa/ and Delaware and it shows. Why? Because parking is a guaranteed nightmare- garage is always full and 1/2 -3/4 of the plates are out of state. If the garage is full, put up a sign saying "LOT FULL" and open up some of the million surface spaces. Did they do that? Of course not! I spent more time hunting for parking than I did driving up from cherry hill. On top of that, the posted "customer service" phone # of (609) 689-9350 doesn't work! Then when you hit the "call service" button, the guy will insist that "there are spaces up top" even when I told him I spent 30 minutes driving around and trust me, there are none! His response? Hanging up on me, twice. I spent $3 for the privilege of exiting after this 30 minute stroke inducing "experience," missing my train. Eventually another train came and so some spots did open up. I then re-entered the shitshow of a parking garage for more $. Of course, I will pay accordingly when I get back to my car on Monday morning. My advice: allow an hour to park, expect a nightmare, and try to plan your arrival near an incoming train that's not gonna be yours. Also, don't expect an iota of "service" from the pricks at NJT. This place sucks, but it's all we have down here. Fucking pathetic. read more

I honestly feel that many people are ranking this train station too high. It definitely had a hay day but now its starting to suck. Both of the escalators do not work anymore, one of them has been out of commission for over 2 years... it doesn't take that long to fix an escalator. Also, it's helpful to know that the bathrooms are no accessible on days and times the station is closed. Also the times that the station is open is not easy to find which is equally annoying. read more

Parking was very easy in the garage. That is only place you can park if you're just going from Jersey to anywhere else so make sure you keep your ticket to pay the correct rate for under six hours which was eight dollars not that bad. The train comes pretty consistently and we got to New York with no issues. read more

I know plenty of people who drive up to Hamilton, NJ just off 295, then take the $17 train each way to the city. The other night, I took it from Penn Station back to NJ. It stops quite a bit (perhaps there is an express train) before finally arriving in Hamilton. I think the train was about 1 hour 20 minutes. I was hitching a ride home from here, so it was about a 5 minute walk to the garage where you pay the garage parking fee ($8). Frankly, I usually take the Greyhound from Mt. Laurel, which is a lot closer to me. Free parking, and on the bus you can charge your phone and get free wifi. Ride from Mt. Laurel to Port Authority is 1 hr 40 minutes long. Ask me and I'd personally vote for the Greyhound but otherwise it's fine. read more

Convenient, plenty of parking, bathrooms available, and a great way to get to NYC without taking a bus or driving yourself. This is my go-to station. It's an easy off and on location from 295. I always get there early because there is usually a line for bathrooms and sometimes tickets, especially on the weekends. read more

I use this train station whenever I need to go to NYC. It's clean and there is plenty of parking. Daily parking is $8. There are options to leave your car overnight. I've done this a few times without any issue. The lot does offer monthly parking if you want to use it for a work commute. The station services NJ Transit rail line only. Amtrak does not stop at this station. Tickets can be purchased at the ticket booth, ticket kiosks or electronically by using the NJ Transit app. I've used all options but prefer the app. The app is easy and convenient. read more

Now THIS is everything that a modern commuter rail station should be! It has ticket vending machines, a waiting room that's open 7 days a week even off-peak hours, ample parking in the garage, wheelchair accessible high-level concrete platforms, as well as clean restroom facilities. Plus, as an added safety feature, an alarm will sound when a train approaches the platform regardless of whether it is stopping or not. Awesome! read more

Recently after a bad experience with the Bolt bus I have been using NJ Transit when shuttling my brother and my nieces to and from NYC when they come to visit. It is a 30-minute drive from Cherry Hill, but an easy one and well worth it. Hamilton is a very nice commuter rail station. There is an indoor waiting area, bathrooms, a small convenience store and a pay for parking garage. NY's Penn Station is direct from Hamilton and it's about 75 to 90 minutes depending on if it is an express train or not. The station is fairly new and clean. The trains are also comfortable and well maintained. A one-way adult to NYC is $16.25, not bad at all and no battling traffic. read more

Went on a Thursday around 11am. Went in the multilevel parking garage. Had to go all the way up to the 5th floor to get parking, but it was available, which was a concern. Used a credit card to enter the parking facility & used the same one when we left, which functioned to see how long I left the vehicle there (4.5 days) and calculate the total to charge. It did give me a receipt automatically when we left. The information attendant at the train station itself was helpful and enabled us to buy 4 round trip tickets to Penn Station, NYC. (Round trip tickets were for whenever we wanted to return, not a specific day/time). The train ride was comfortable & fairly enjoyable. It's very hard to understand the announcements, but fortunately, you can see which station you're arriving to through the windows, because they are labeled on the walls at the various stations. It was a little tricky finding our way back to the Amtrak station in NYC bc it's in the subway, along with all the various subway routes, but not too hard. Just follow the signage. I would definitely go to NYC this method again! read more

Clean, safe, convenient. Easier than Philadelphia. Quick way into nyc. It is a train station.

Felt good this morning, especially when helping others. I found a lost iPhone on the ground outside the parking garage last night. The owner was calling the phone and I answered the call to tell her I found the phone and will turn it to the parking garage office. I got her name and an alternate phone where she can be reached. I informed her the name of the parking attendant and it will be there for her to pick up in the morning. She was very grateful and very happy that it was found and she can retrieve it. So this morning as I arrived at the station to catch the train, I checked in to see if the owner had retrieved it and they said yes. I know in the future, she will pay it forward to someone in need, because I sense she was appreciative and will do the same. Kudos to the parking attendant for maintaining the phone until the owner arrived to retrieve it. Since it is unsure if they have a lost & found program there (NJT has an online L&F program.) read more

Hamilton Train Station - Dunkin Donuts/news paper store. - Train Stations Near Me - Hamilton Township, New Jersey

It's a NJ Transit stop in a further part of New Jersey, smack dab in "you need a car" territory. Traffic wasn't too bad when I got picked up and dropped off from here. They have comfortable seating and huge boards that list when the next train is coming. This also had an indoor waiting area with air conditioning, a far cry from some of the LIRR and MetroNorth train stations I've been at. It didn't feel sketchy or creepy to me so you'd be safe as a woman traveling alone from here with luggage. read more

I've recently been using the the Hamilton Train Station to get to New York via the NJ Transit rail. For a round trip I end up paying about $30. There are discounts available for seniors and children. I've only parked here for the day, and the rates can vary from $7 to $10. There are at least two spots for day parkers; the parking garage and a dirt lot. The parking garage is the way to go, but it does fill up. The dirt lot is full of pot holes and mud. There is a small indoor waiting area that hosts seating, bathrooms, a newsstand and dunkin donuts. The station is handicap accessible. TIP: Download the NJ Transit App to purchase and show your tickets directly on your phone. read more

Bathrooms were closed before 9pm. When I asked someone to unlock them, they said they don't have the key. What's the point in working somewhere if you can't open the bathrooms up during a time they are supposed to be open. This is unacceptable. read more

This is a fantastic commuter rail station! It includes a parking garage which is fantastic! It is wheelchair accessible with ease, so kudos for that. Parking is NOT free, as i've been told by many, if it is, the parking garage is not free, however, it was raining when I went so parking garage for me! There is a waiting area indoors which you don't see to many places. You can have easy access to NY's Penn Station from here, on an express train its around 1:15 minutes and it was $14.70 for Senior/Disabled/Military ticket RT, very affordable to the big apple! The trains were super clean and well maintained. It is on the red line for those looking. I know on a saturday the times it ran after 9 till unsure of what time at 9:03 and 9:24 on every hour just in case you were looking for that :) Kids ride free friday evenings thru sunday as well in case you wanted to know that info too! Look for the handicap blue sign on the side of the train on the double decker trains, this is for priority seating for senior/handicapped/disabled AND Strollers. read more

Super convenient train station with a new huge parking lot. Early mornings during the week they even open the outside lot to daily commuters for cash only. The station also has a small convenient store with a Dunkin' Donuts located inside. They are SUPER FAST & efficient. The station is clean & has ample indoor waiting space on thise super cold & hot days! read more

Two hours into the morning and the convenient, safe clean Hamilton Train Station is the only choice for travel on the Northeast corridor. This train train the 5:13 am to New York Penn Station. A literal fraction of the cost for Amtrak and one minute longer ride conditions permitting. read more

Hamilton Train Station - May or may not have libations added, I'm not driving the train. Next stop Penn Station New York! - Train Stations Near Me - Hamilton Township, New Jersey

We moved to New Jersey a little over a year ago and I have been using the Hamilton train station into the city 5 days a week (yes one of the few). Everything has been fine I have a monthly parking pass but daily parking process seems simple. My understanding is that pre-covid the parking lot was packed. For better or worse it just is not now. They recently reopened the outdoor lot but getting in and out of ther parking structure is easy. For those who need Dunkin Dounuts in the main building. I have watched people buy tickets at the machines and the process seems easy. Had a couple conversations with workers in the parking booth and they were very helpful. I only have 2 selfish complaints. I would pay a little more for my monthly pass if there was a totlally different exit for monthly cars. There is a seperate lane to get out but that is after you mix with the daily cars. Also the escalator on the side coming in from the city does not always work. Sometimes just don't feel like walking up the stairs after a long day and take the elevator up Wanted to give them kudos in a review but would be happy if it doesn't get much more crowed read more

This train station in NJ is the best. It is safe and clean and the trains are always on time. If you go to a different station, change immediately! The window to buy tickets opens at 8:30am or they have the self service machines. They also have a waiting area inside with a Dunkin' Donuts. read more

I absolutely love this train station so much better and easier than Trenton and in the middle of everything easy to get to in great parking

Nothing to explain here, very standard NJ train station, have never had any issues!

Probably the only review I'm ever going to leave for an NJ Transit station so here goes. The station was so easy to get to off Rt. 295 from where I lived. The parking fee for 18-24 hrs was inexpensive ($10). It's a nice overall station except the bathrooms could use some cleaning. read more

Clean nice place to get a train. Sometimes the parking is hard to get a spot, so be sure to leave time. You can wait inside or if the weather is nice a bench outside. I think getting a ticket from one of the machines located around the outside of the building is easy, of course using the mobile app is the easies. Large waiting lot for drop offs or pickups. Going south you will need to go across the tracks but north it's right there. Easier then Trenton. read more
