Now they have daily AM and PM direct commute to Manhattan so if you catch a train at peak times you can relax and not worry about changing trains in Newark it's a awesome option they added! Now if they can only make a daily express to NYC that's be even cooler!!!

Really convenient station when going to NYC. Free parking on the weekends and I've never seen it…read morecrowded. I wish they had a route directly to NY Penn without transferring in Newark but I need to drive a little further and pay to park for that luxury.

The station itself is pretty isolated, so if you want a quick drink or bite to eat after your ride you will have travel a bit more to get to a restaurant. The station is well lit and has plenty of vending machines. Overall, not too shabby!

I went to the New Brunswick Train Station because I was attending a conference at the Heldrich, and…read moregiven the choice between driving in New Brunswick and not driving in New Brunswick, the prior will always win. Add on the fact that overnight parking at the hotel was more than a round trip ticket on the train and the choice was obvious. You don't argue with the system. You simply show up and hope it behaves. Three stars. It did what it was supposed to do, which is more than can be said for many institutions. The trains arrive and depart with reasonable competence along the Northeast Corridor, carrying students, commuters, and the mildly confused. The station sits in a useful place, close to Rutgers University and the hospitals, which makes it feel important even when it looks a little tired. Inside, there is a waiting room with limited hours, as if patience itself has a schedule. The bathrooms...exist. That is the kindest thing I can say about them. Downstairs, a Dunkin' offers coffee that tastes exactly like every other cup you have ever had, which is a small comfort in an unpredictable world. People often wander the platforms like explorers without a map. The signage does not so much guide as gently suggest. Elevators sometimes work and sometimes do not, which turns accessibility into a philosophical question rather than a guarantee. The place is not especially clean, not especially dirty, just lived in. Parking costs money, as expected. Nothing here surprises you, except perhaps how little it tries to. And yet, you get where you are going. Most of the time, that is enough.

This train station is what often leads to passengers being stranded at New York Penn Station…read morebecause trains will often terminate here without continuing all the way to Trenton. This pathetic excuse of a train station has no passenger amenities, is not wheelchair accessible, and the land use around it is absolutely terrible. NJ Transit should consider closing this station and turning it into a railfan park and museum similar to that of the Macungie Train Watching Platform in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. A replica of a historic depot could be built with a small model railroad among other exhibits, and a park with flowers and a fountain could also be built. But seriously, NJ Transit, stop using this pointless station. The main train station in New Brunswick is plenty considering the fact that New Brunswick is a small city and not a major city.

The only reason I'm giving a 4-star rating is because of the great customer service representatives…read morewhich I've been dealing with on a regular basis. Why? Because Amtrak has changed my reservation three times in three months. I booked my trip to Boston early because it was July 3rd and America's 250th so I figured the train may be crowded. Since then, I keep getting canceled trains and car reassignments. I don't understand why as these are trains that run daily. Additionally, the emails give me a link to use in the app if I would like view the changes or make other changes. The links never work! Hence, my ongoing communication with customer service. I found out this last time that I can't access the app until the changes are confirmed. Isn't that the point of the link in the email? At this point I'm ready to book a refundable backup airline reservation as I'm getting leery that Amtrak may just cancel everything at the last minute.

Amtrak The Amtrak…read morenetwork is split into six regions: California, Midwest, South, Northeast, Northwest and West. It connects over 500 destinations, including big cities like Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Portland, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Washington, D.C. and more. One time I thought I wanted to arrive in NYC by train from Miami Florida. It's the old romantic movies I had seen creating visions of glamour and excitement as you are welcomed in Penn Station. Even though I was being met by my daughter I anticipated the glamour of arrival. I also remembered my train ride from Florida to New York with my Mother when I was little. I had so much fun and my mother had motion sickness the whole way! As I should have known a trip of that length would be uncomfortable unless you had a sleeping car. The train was crowded too because I decided to attempt this in July. All the kids were out of school and going to theme parks. The bathroom became filthy in time and the children impatient with the ride. The parents impatient with the children. I sat with my headphones music blasting and looked out the window during daylight hours. The experience was miserable on the return trip also because I cried all the way back to Florida. I had plenty of time during that train ride to make a decision and a plan to move back to NYC. The experience is not one I want to repeat. We were held up in Florida by railroad crossings during Florida tropical downpours. In Washington D.C. we were held up by train problems and train traffic trying to get in and out. When I finally arrived my daughter greeted me with a look of chagrin because she couldn't find me. This was pre cell phones. By the time I arrived I was traveling a full 24 hours at least. From then on I took a plane! I'm not saying I wouldn't try one of their travel packages for a short excursion. I do think car travel is still my favorite!
