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.

So why would I want to review a SEPTA Station? It's simple; folks on the main line think that the…read moretrain to take into the city is the R5. They are correct in that it will get you there. But what about convenience? Almost all the R5 stations charge for parking. Ughh! Next you need to change trains at a big station like 30th Street or Suburban to get to restaurant row. Not necessarily a pleasant experience! Now let's talk about Ardmore Junction. It's on the Norristown High Speed Line. Let me say that again; it's fast! Parking is free which is a big plus. You change trains at 69th street in Upper Darby to the Market-Frankford line. It's a very easy change. Now you have access to all of the Market, Chestnut, and Walnut Street restaurants. If you are on the mainline, do yourself a favor and think about the Norristown High Speed Line the next time you consider going into the city.

I often stop to visit with my oldest friend -- we were in high school together, she as a teacher (no, all wholesome, nothing risque). For that matter, I enjoy the city in general. It is great in its own right, overlooked because it is between the financial capitol and the political capitol of the nation, but it has museums (including the Mutter and the Rosenbach and now the Barnes), sports, music, and fine dining. The whole station is undergoing a multi year renovation. I assume they will upgrade the lounge as at Moynihan to the north, or perhaps they will rip out the benches as at Union Station to the south. The space is very long. You can easily find privacy to work or nap; I have never seen it crowded. There are two bonus features worth mentioning. The first is the conference room. You can reserve it for free. I have seen solo workers camped out, with equipment and papers spread out on the table. The second is the elevator system. They announce the trains. You can ride down to the platform, bypassing any need to line up. I regard 30th Street Station as another reason to like Philadelphia. The lounge is part of that.

On a Friday evening or Saturday night, the bus will be smelly, probably crowded and longer than a 2 hour trip. You will need to get there early, especially if you're leaving NY to go to Philly after work on Friday. Expect for the driver to be rude to you, if there is any interaction at all. The 12:30 Sunday bus is a whole different beast: the return trip is mellow, the bus doesn't smell as badly (if you're lucky, the smell of pee won't even be detectable!) and the experience is less painful and potentially only 90 minutes if your driver goes at warpspeed..

Sure over the years things have been fixed up, upgraded and improved but at the core it's still the same old, now, 113 year old building. The future looks bright for Lansdale with a new parking structure coming that will increase the amount of available spaces by over 300 to around 900 and Septa is going to replace the area's traction power system which they inherited from the Pennsylvania Railroad that dates back to the '30's. What this type of investment means is that both SEPTA service and the station are going to be around for many years to come which is something that I look forward to as anytime I need to go to Center City this is my preferred way of doing it.
