    station
    Monty W.

    its a typical metra station. arrive 10mins earlier than your train if you need a ticket from the station. Also beware if a freight train blocks you from the appropriate side of the tracks. otherwise you'll pay a surcharge $3 on the train. Northbrook is zone E. plenty of benches outside to sit and wait along with indoor. There are a few express trains that zip thru at 60 mph sometimes, so be careful to stay well behind yellow line, otherwise you'll be thrown around!

    Have been here before. Don't remember using it. But my father did for almost 20 years. Good station. And handy so close by.

    Gotta say that this station has gotten worse recently. The smell in here is unpleasant to say the…read moreleast, and on my last stop in here I noticed they covered all the outlets with plates so you can't charge your phone! Unacceptable. Is this a pathetic attempt to save money? Is it an attempt to cut back on vagrants without manning the station? Whatever it is I was pretty angry to see it. This used to be one of the better stations but they seem determined to ruin it.

    This is a review for the Lake Cook train station on the Metra Milwaukee District North line. (at…read morethe time I'm writing this review, the map shows it in the wrong location - the station is just west of Waukegan Rd.) The station itself is fine - clean enough, bathrooms, seating and, as a bonus, Jimmy John's and a coffee shop are attached. The coffee shop is especially convenient for commuters. The problem with this station is the parking situation. Note that this is a Metra-owned lot, not municipal owned like many other stations. There are enough spaces. That's about where the good news ends. The layout of the parking lot is terrible with multiple bottlenecks when commuters are trying to leave. Getting all the way out can take 10 minutes, given that there is one parking lot exit onto Lake Cook Rd. for the station that is shared with Home Depot, a few restaurants and a small office building with a very short stoplight. At peak times, it's not unusual to wait 4 or 5 light cycles to get out. And there is no other way. Finally, the payment for parking here is also not great. The machines to do daily parking are confusing and often don't work. If you do monthly, you have to do it online (ok, that part's good, except that you have to do it each month - there's no option for a 3 or 6 month permit) but then you have to print out a piece of paper to display on your windshield. Not a fan. All of the other stations have either stickers or mirror tags. It's a pain in the butt to drive around all the time with a piece of paper on my dashboard and I am particularly opposed to the identifying information that it contains. I commute from this station because it's convenient, but Metra sure could improve the situation.
