    We ended up at this SEPTA train station unexpectedly as our day ran late and we missed the train at…read morethe Penllyn Station. Our final destination was Suburban Station in Philadelphia. Conshohocken Station features a small parking lot, ticket kiosks and covered seating areas. It was around 9pm on a weeknight so it wasn't too busy, but as the departure time neared, a small crowd formed. The area felt isolated but safe with no questionable souls lurking. OVERALL: Clean facilities that got the job done.

    The "station" is hardly that. Technically it's not a building but a trailer on the West side of…read morethe tracks, on the inbound side to Center City, Philadelphia. It is only open in the morning. At other times there is no place to take shelter from the elements other than a small bench enclosure beside the station, a.k.a shack, or standing under a nearby bridge, which is what most people do. The "service" is a rail link whose only train is SEPTA's so called "Norristown regional rail" line. Technically the line is not regional since it's stops are too close together. it's really a mostly outdoor subway sort of like the F train in NYC but is three times as expensive and it doesn't go nearly as far. The nominal time to or from the station and Center City is 40 minutes. The nominal driving time, even considering i76 traffic, is less than 30 minutes. There are a few "express trains" that make the journey in a little less time. However so called reverse commuters who work in rapidly expanding Conshohocken and travel from Philadelphia have no express service. In rush hour some trains run an abysmal 40 minutes apart. In non-rush hour they run with far less frequency. The parking is very small but drivers can effectively park for free in the corporate building garages, though marginally legal. There was a proposal a few years ago by the Delaware Valley Planning Commission to build a real station with a parking structure, but the proposal was considered to costly and never realized. Sadly the reality is many potential riders don't use the system because of both the poor facility and inefficient service. Essentially all of my coworkers have elected to drive, and I work in the building right next to the station.

    Septa Doylestown Station - Septa Doylestown Parking - Don't be fooled. There are two parking lots - one on each side of the train station.

    If you live in the Doylestown area, the Septa Station in Doylestown is incredibly convenient to…read moreyou, but not so much to the major destinations to which you are heading. Parking: When you first pull in you'll think there are way too few parking spots. Don't be fooled. There are two lots: one that hosts the station itself and another on the opposite side of where the trains pull in. This second lot is much bigger. Parking is one dollar. They have digital devices that allow you to pay by credit card and just enter the number corresponding to your parking space. On the day I was here those machines were not working. Bring quarters just in case. They have an old fashioned wall of coin slots labeled by lot number. Distance: Doylestown isn't close to anything, and express trains are in shockingly short supply. Expect a trip just shy of two hours to get to 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. And most morning trains during the week will be crowded mid-way along the route. If you're looking for a shorter trip and maybe more express options, head for the Lansdale Station. Food: The Station Tap House is adjacent to the Septa Train Station. Kitchen quality varies: it's either very good bar food/sandwiches/appetizers or not so great. Huge beer selection and well-stocked bar options. Service is almost always very good. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Bonus: The Trans-Bridge Bus Stop is on the street next to the second, larger Septa Parking Lot. Rather than taking the train 1:45 minutes to 30th Street then switching trains to NYC, you can take the Trans-Bridge bus (think senior casino trip bus, but with Wi-Fi) to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in NYC near Times Square. Very convenient, comfortable and you're driven to Manhattan in just shy of 3 hours.

    Outstanding customer service from Lorna. Answered a multitude of questions, was helpful, and…read morefriendly. Thanks!
