Technical info: -…read moreDaylesford is part of the "Paoli/Thorndale Line" (formerly the R5, prior to 2010). - Located in Zone 3, for ticket price calculation. - Daylesford is a quirky station. It is small and lightly-traveled compared to its neighboring stops. - Unlike most SEPTA stations, you are much more likely to find an available parking space at the Daylesford station. (They are not a stop for Express trains.) - There is a shelter but no office here. You have to buy tickets on the train, or at another station. - This line connects at 30th Street Station, to access Amtrak, and other regional rail lines. It also stops at other center city stations, to connect with regional rail and subway lines. This line does not go directly to the airport. You are better off getting a taxi or private car for the time it would take to make connections for the airport. Practical Info: - This station is surrounded by residential zoning, so if you are trying to get to a business, pick another stop. - This station is easy to miss driving down 30, unless you know where you're going. Cars move more quickly on this stretch of 30 because it's residential and there is no business in-and-out traffic to slow things down, nor any lookie-loo at stores or anything. Also, lights are spread out a lot more on this stretch which makes people speed. - Check online maps programs for landmarks, so you don't pass it.

David's -- Wayne -- Strafford -- Devon -- Berwyn -- Daylesford -- Paoli -- Malvern -- exton, etc. Schedule: http://www.septa.org/schedules/rail/pdf/tho.pdf It's very convenient to my home and for Villanova University students, but otherwise, it's a bit remote. There is parking and bike racks and there is a coffee shop/ ticket office. They have really cheap specials on parking but the spaces are usually reserved early on in the season. The website says they're at full capacity for parking but its normally $20 monthly and $1 daily. Nice to know, right?

No ticket booth so make sure you have your ticket ready or cash on hand! Trains have been running on or close to time 90 percent of the time I've been riding this train so far this year. They should put in heat lamps in the winter because I think that's the only negative I'm not looking forward to!

What I like about this SEPTA regional rail station and others on the Main Line is they have kept the vintage, historical feel - with huge help of course by the community organizations. Brick walk way and the historical train building and covering over the platform- definitely gives you a serene vibe than standing on a concrete platform a plastic bubble house with minimum seating. There are lots of trees in the background too that's brings color during the fall. Since land is scarce to expand in the area, parking is better than some of the small stations ( Ardmore) but not as plentiful as some of ones out in the further burbs like Paoli. I have not counted but wiki says 117 spots. With people still WFH they parking is easy to gets spot during AM commute and Free now Usually $1 day. Warning- when I commuted pre pandemic you were out of luck by 8am to find a spot. Negative is that the parking is a bit crammed and there are parallel spots to the tracks that are across the parking spaces. There is litle space between the two so when back out you have to be careful not to hit the car parked parallel to the tracks. Also it's a one way parking lot so when when everyone is coming in in the AM and coming out in the PM it's a wait. You can also get a monthly parking pass in a selected lot on the westbound side. Convenience - a Wynnewood shopping center and Whole Foods , Starbucks and First Watch is a block away. If you are in the area and plan to commute in the a regional Rail I pick this one. 15 min ride to 30th St Station - yay!-

If you're trying to get into center city Philadelphia without driving into Philadelphia and braving…read morethe many parking tickets being handed out then Wynnewood Station is the place to be. Buy a roundtrip ticket, check the schedule and hop a 30 minute train to Philadelphia and go where you please. It drops off conveniently at the Convention Center as well as multiple other stops that make Philadelphia more accessible for those that live in the suburbs. Train schedules are quite different from morning to evening to weekends so I would make sure to research accordingly. Parking at the station is $1 and you must pay in quarters, you've been warned. It's convenient to surrounding towns and is a major train station for everyone who commutes into downtown for work. I'm a fan.

Small parking lot that fills up early, usually before 7 am. The parking lot is so small, I'm not…read moresure how cars can pass each other, it feels like it's a one way road. The station itself is non-existent except for something akin to a bug shelter. There is no ticket office and there is only a money box for you to insert quarters (or an envelope for money). Following the directions on the SEPTA website, I did park my car for several nights at this station as I took the train to the airport - you basically need to insert an envelope and check into the parking payment thing that clearly states your car and how many nights you will be parked. Seems a bit primitive given our technology these days, but hey it worked! This is also the last stop in Zone 3, so anything beyond this is Zone 4 pricing which is a few bucks higher.

This is just a train stop. Quite literally. There's no ticket booth, no customer service, nothing…read more Just a tiny open sitting area so don't expect to be sheltered from the elements (cold or hot) once you get here. There is parking but it's normally filled up with people commuting towards Philly. If you do want to park there, make sure to take quarters with you (4 to be exact) and find the big, thin, inconspicuous box with coin slots to drop in your quarters into the appropriate number to pay for parking. It's $1/day so that's nice. Also, make sure to take with you cash to pay for your fare because the train conductors don't take credit cards. Trains are normally not on time (aka late anywhere from 2-3 mins to 15-20 mins). This is what passes as public transportation here.

She approached me and offered advice for which ticket to purchase with the new SEPTA key, how much to purchase down to the penny to ensure every pass I use will deduct down to zero instead of some odd amount, and how to register my card and get $4.95 back. Surprised how easy she made it. Subway car came on schedule, was clean with seating, had AC, and was much quicker than the T in Boston. Station was typical to expect for public transit in a non financial or tourist area: its a little dirty outside the gates and has its regulars around the station.

Loud speakers are built in and they notify you of arrival times. Close by is Snap pizza kitchen and Ardmore station cafe. There you can grab a quick bite to eat. The parking is fine. It can be a bit confusing. If you need to stay warm on freezing days they have a little tunnel that goes under the train tracks. You can stay there. It is usually crowded do come a bit early for a seat. In the summer time they sometimes have concerts in the parking lot behind the train station. If you have to park it may be a bit of a hassle, but it provides entertainment while you wait.

Let's just say there's nothing noticeable about the Ardmore train station environment; I would suspect that's a reasonable compliment as one might be prone to remember more negative aspects (e.g., litter) of train station ambiance. I certainly had issues locating parking, which reminds me of a wonderful saying: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded." - Yogi Berra Hopefully another reviewer might offer a helpful tip. I was looking for a quick place to park for 20 minutes and grab a cup of coffee while waiting to pick up a friend. I struggled.
