This is right off…read moreexit 32 of 295: from northern Burlington / southern Mercer county it's only about a 30 minute drive and then you're at 8th & market in 15-20. We can drive in Philly just fine, we're used to crappy roads, crazy drivers, traffic etc. But why bother when you can get a round trip patco ticket for $6 and park for free after 10 am at this station? Parking is ample with decent lighting to boot. Some of it is covered. They also just freshened up the interior of the place a bit, so it feels a bit more welcoming and clean. PATCO as whole is cleaner & nicer than SEPTA. We did see a cop riding around the lot tonight. Good thing because we've also seen random guys checking for open car doors in the past. Oh well, life isn't without risk. Consider Woodcrest station next time you want to go to center city. It's a lot less hassle without the tolls, traffic, parking & the PPA.

What can you say about a high speed line train station?…read more Well in my case quite a bit. First, if you are looking for a convenient and truly bargain priced way to enter the City of Brotherly Love it doesn't get better than PATCO!!! Six bucks for a round trip!!! The bridge cost into Philly is $5 and parking rates usually start around $8/hour if space is available. PATCO has somehow managed to keep the price super cheap but maybe that is in part due to my super high New Jersey tax bill. Now convenience doesn't get better than the Woodcrest PATCO unless you live within walking distance of another station! The WOODCREST Station has its very own exit off of I-295. I am surprised that some Jersey politico hasn't convinced the governing powers to give the exit their name but no matter take the Woodcrest Exit and drive straight into the massive FREE (Except between 7am & 10pm weekdays) parking lot. During the work week 9-5 hours parking is hard to find but shouldn't you be working then too? Woodcrest Station's parking lot provides a clear view of the elevated tracks so you can see your train leaving as you walk towards the station, which happened to me today necessitating a 30 minute wait for the next train. PATCO trains run a regular schedule that I have always found to be quite accurate. The station itself well it's nothing to write home about and an astute (its in the dictionary) reviewer would probably say BLAH while giving only a star or two but to me a train station review needs to cover start to finish. So there are no galleries to stroll through, no day old bakery wares being sold as fresh with a cup of "joe," and not even a heated lounge to sit in. They do have a dusty old American flag stretched out by the stairs, whose purpose I could not discern because it had patriotic potential even though unclean but it could be an artistic commentary for just that very reality in its appearance. Stark with steps and escalating steps (they worked) to take travelers to the train platform. Before heading up to the train I have a couple of issues with ticketing. : Right now I have FOURTEEN Susan B Anthony Dollar coins in my pocket!!! Did you even know they still minted those? If you use cash ... and I did ... the machines only give coins in return and of course where once we paid a human to sell tickets in today's world the machine is it. The second issue is only related to newbie PATCO riders and it has to do with the flimsy paper ticket you are issued. There are no instructions but what one needs to know is that ticket not only gets you into the stations' inner sanctums where you board trains but at the end of the ride you will need it to return to the non-train world. Throw it away because you think it has only a get on purpose will lead to more money being spent to escape. They really need guidelines or a message on the tickets!! So let's up to our train ... at the top of the stairs/escalator is a small enclosed hallway where riders can stand out of the elements. It is very clean and welcoming with paper schedules scotch taped to the wall (come on folks you can do better) but the schedule was helpful and accurate. You can also brave the elements out on the platform where there are benches. There was also an emergency call box that I was attempted to test for the sake of the review but misuse of emergency devices might carry a fine so I just noted the button is there. The trains are clean and provide a comfortable ride. Be sure to check out the USS New Jersey moored on the Delaware as you move between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. A good ride folks and a reminder that public transportation can be your best choice ... Now where did I put that ticket?

If you are coming from Haddonfield or Collingswood, it's only a couple of stops and a few minutes away. During the YEAR OF PANDEMIC, social distancing is strongly encouraged, so seat yourself as far apart as you can from others, wear a mask, don't touch anything with your bare hands if you can help it, don't touch the stairway railings, they're the worst.

If you overlook my failure to find the right entry door several times over (it's on the corner). This is a small train hub, with access to the Walter Rand Transportation Center and the Freedom Card Service Center. I haven't needed to connect to any other trains yet, and my FC is in good working order, so I haven't done anything other than take the regular PATCO. Nonetheless, I was here late at night alone to unexpectedly catch a train after Uber failed me (wouldn't recommend personally). Fortunately, the experience was seamless and no one bothered me. I wish I could say the same about the Collingswood PATCO (my current home base), but alas, drunken bros in Phillies caps run rampant there, so no matter where you are, keep your wits about you / use common sense.

Beautiful new station that will be underutilized, until NJ Transit rewards the Atlantic City line…read morewith a schedule that actually runs trains. That said, we came from North Jersey for a weekend in Center City Philadelphia. Hotel parking was $42/night, so we opted to use the PTC as a park and ride. Ample FREE parking here with security cameras, and elevators with raised platforms at trains for easy access with bags. We timed our arrival here with the ACL train to 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, which is only a one stop, twenty minute train ride. On the Saturday of that weekend, we left our hotel to come back here but had to plan our journey back around the sporadic ACL train schedule. Once here, we dropped bags off in the car, and walked right back to the station to board the RiverLine which is the light rail which runs through here enroute to Camden from Trenton. That night there was a concert on the Camden Waterfront and it was the way to go. So my point is, if you're seeing a show in Camden or spending a night in Philly, check this place out but also check those schedules!

Passed through here on my way home to South Jersey recently. It had just opened that weekend and…read morethis was changing my route up a little. I took the Riverline from Trenton to here to make the connection to NJT train, instead of connecting in Philly. It was slightly more convenient but not very. I had about 4 min to make my connection, so thankfully they had signs posted, pointing me in the direction of the platform. I ran right past the ticket machines, assuming there would be 1 on the platform. There was not. There was no time to go back down the 2 flights of stairs to get a ticket, so I boarded without. Please make sure you buy your tickets before going up to the platform, there is a $5 surcharge for tickets purchased on board. That's damn near double my ticket! I didn't get to explore much but what I could make out (while making a mad-dash), was pretty nice. Let's see how long that lasts!

One star taken away for the dirty conditions that could easily be solved with maintenance/cleaning. That being said, you've got access to PATCO to get to center city Philly in a matter of minutes. Looking for the Riverline to head north to Trenton (where connections to Amtrak and the NJ Transit NYC-bound NE corridor train are found)? Then you must head across the street to the "broadway" station. The riverline platform is street level and easy to find. Cops are EVERYWHERE. At least they were at 3 pm on a Monday (can't speak to night time). I even heard a local lament their presence, implying it precluded a business transaction from taking place. Your nose may encounter the typical smells of human life here. Again, it gets the job done. Don't be a snob, use common sense. and you'll get where you need to go.

Westmont often seems to be overshadowed by its neighbors Collingswood and Haddonfield, but it really has a lot to offer! Including booze! On a nice day, come from Philly to this station, get off, and walk to Treno, Keg & Kitchen, Irish Mile, or the Pour House. You won't regret it.

It's located right near it all! The station itself gets a little crowded after events, but it's nothing compared to the headache exiting the parking lot in a motor vehicle can be at times, especially if there's two events going on at the different arenas. There isn't always someone in the booths late at night so bring tokens or exact fare! It's not super dirty. I've definitely seen worse and I do feel pretty safe using it even super late at night. It's newly named AT&T and there's a big, bright lit up sign with this newer name on it making it very hard to miss. I would absolutely recommend using this station for anyone in the city who has a game or concert or whatever. Easy!

Three stars is a compromise rating for this SEPTA station. SEPTA itself, in terms of cleanliness,…read more(in)efficiency of buying a ticket during peak times, and staffing gets about 1.5 stars. But this particular station gets five stars for being the most convenient way into the area for sporting events and other events at Lincoln Financial Field, Citizens Bank Park and the Wells Fargo Center. So I'll go with 3 stars. The location can't be beat and there are usually plenty of trains at peak (game/concert) times -- which is why I take the train to events whenever I can. But don't be surprised to see an unexplained, massive line to buy tokens, and expect the stations that you're traveling to and from to be on the dingy side (the stadium station itself isn't too bad in this regard). It would be great if Philadelphia and SEPTA could get things together enough to have the best of both worlds -- a convenient, efficient subway system AND frequent trains to AT&T Station at peak times.

This station is within walking distance of my house and it is very quaint, maintained, clean, and feels safe due to it being surrounded by a residential neighborhood. What I like is how it feels back in time. It has a lot of character as far as design. You can purchase tickets at this station. There's ample parking on street and there's a parking lot with limited spaces depending on time of day. The only thing with parking on street is walking up the hill, but that's good exercise!
