This was a very nice train ride. Train departed on time, and arrived at the "historic" Glen Mills…read moretrain station that dates back to 1880. Try to appreciate the historic features of the trains and the Glen Mills Station. If you are looking for more activity and entertainment, you will be disappointed. I would highly recommend this ride to everyone that is interested in trains, and history of trains and train stations. It brought back many memories for my family. Thank you West Chester Train Station!

I went out of my way while visiting the Philadelphia area and I have to say I would NOT recommend…read moregoing out of your way for this. If you are in the immediate area (under 30 mins drive) then go for it but if you are further away I would not recommend traveling more than 20-30 mins for this experience. The train ride was cool but when you get to the end for the 20 min break there really isn't anything to do. They have one train station house that you can walk into but there's nothing fancy in the house. The souvenir shop was closed so that was useless during my excursion. The leaves were not orange so there wasn't a "fall experience" which isn't the fault of the train service. Overall the experience is cool but nothing grand and certainly not something you should go out of your way for. Maybe the other activities this business offers is better (i.e. pumpkin express ride) but I won't be back to find out.

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.

First the technical info:…read more - This is in Zone 3, for fare calculation purposes. - It connects to bus route # 117. - It is currently the last stop on the "Media/Elwyn Line" (formerly known as the R3, prior to 2010). - Station is located directly across the street from the Elwyn Institute campus. - This station is in a wooded, mostly-residential setting. There is a gas station about 0.3mi up the road (much easier to walk there on the Elwyn Ave side). You WILL NEED transportation from this station when you arrive, so plan that in advance. It is very dark outside the station at night. - 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. - If you ride this into town and miss your stop, you will be headed to Trenton, which is the northeast-bound line for this same train. History: This line used to take commuters all the way to West Chester, PA, until 1986. Stops at Williamson Trade School, Glen Riddle, and other local hubs, lost access, and these passengers flooded the Elwyn Station. Thus, it is a very over-crowded stop. Parking has been a problem for years. New lots were built a few years ago, but the station remains crowded and full. Future: This line is planning to reach Wawa, PA by 2020. They have been asked to restore service to West Chester, PA, however no plans are currently in the works.

Much better than years ago when it was a dilapidated wood structure filled with urine. Although it would be nice if there were still a Post Office there. The tunnel under the station always floods when it rains. The ticket office is barely open. Only in the morning. The digital signs are always incorrect. Cheap parking is limited, but there is ample parking in the attached Radnor Township lot. There are only 6 spots, all for monthly pass holders, on the inbound side. There are about 100 $1 spots on the outbound side, which is accessible from Matsonford Road. Look for the entrance to Archbishop Carroll.

Transferring to the Blue Line at 69th St. Station is easy and rarely a wait. Using the R100 Radnor Station and the High Speed Line shaves nearly 20-25 minutes off the trip down into Philly. And the parking, albeit limited, is free! However there is no ticket booth/kiosk, so bring correct change ($3.50 peak fare with transfer to downtown Philly). Make sure you ask for the transfer when paying the fare!
