Can't believe no one ever reviewed the Ambler Train station! Love that this pretty lil town has a…read moredirect line to downtown Sillydelphia. It has capacious parking (that's a word, right?) and is walking distance to the burgeoning Ambler nightlife scene. Can pop in here and grab a bite or a drank and hop right back on the choo choo and get where you're going. I take of because it's really difficult to figure out how to pay for a train pass and parking and pickup is only available on one side of the station. But overall the station is great.

Small parking lot that fills up early, usually before 7 am. The parking lot is so small, I'm not…read moresure how cars can pass each other, it feels like it's a one way road. The station itself is non-existent except for something akin to a bug shelter. There is no ticket office and there is only a money box for you to insert quarters (or an envelope for money). Following the directions on the SEPTA website, I did park my car for several nights at this station as I took the train to the airport - you basically need to insert an envelope and check into the parking payment thing that clearly states your car and how many nights you will be parked. Seems a bit primitive given our technology these days, but hey it worked! This is also the last stop in Zone 3, so anything beyond this is Zone 4 pricing which is a few bucks higher.

This is just a train stop. Quite literally. There's no ticket booth, no customer service, nothing…read more Just a tiny open sitting area so don't expect to be sheltered from the elements (cold or hot) once you get here. There is parking but it's normally filled up with people commuting towards Philly. If you do want to park there, make sure to take quarters with you (4 to be exact) and find the big, thin, inconspicuous box with coin slots to drop in your quarters into the appropriate number to pay for parking. It's $1/day so that's nice. Also, make sure to take with you cash to pay for your fare because the train conductors don't take credit cards. Trains are normally not on time (aka late anywhere from 2-3 mins to 15-20 mins). This is what passes as public transportation here.

The map of the train routes is really helpful. Especially for my autistic twin brother. He loves…read morethe train station so much. Lansdale train station is cleaner then most. It is also in walking distance to many places like the library, comic book shop, chips catering, Main Street pizza, pretzel factory. Lansdale is awesome

Same as it ever was…read more That's the kind of the feeling that I get every time I catch a train at this station as I've been doing it since 198???, a very long time. 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.

Wish there was more parking though. Get here before 7am if you don't want to park at the very far end of the lot! The ticket booth is only open until 1pm which is silly.

Philadelphia is the place to be during our country's 250th anniversary and any other time of the year! History is everywhere in Philadelphia and it's a beautiful place and beautiful people who truly welcome EVERYONE! And AMTRAK is just about the best way to get to Philadelphia! A piece of trivia, I used to work with the namesake of this station, and he probably used this station more than just about any other Philadelphian, to get back and forth to Washington, DC. It couldn't be easier to get from Philadelphia to Dc or New York or Boston than to hop on a train and let someone else do the driving!

An update to my initial review:…read more I'm a fan of Amtrak, reliant on their service since I regularly travel between Philadelphia and NYC. The train takes less time than driving and saves us a fair amount of money. (Are you familiar with the price of parking in Manhattan?!) I generally pay the extra $3 to modify my ticket without penalty. Life happens and we've had to make changes more than once. Two weeks ago I realized something astonishing. With a major snowstorm hitting the northeast, I decided last minute to change my ticket from Tuesday to Sunday. I wanted to get back to PA. Posted fares were insane, literally priced more than an airline ticket. I was resigned to staying put in NY. For the fun of it, I checked several times and then .....voila! A fare posted at $219 an hour before, had dropped to $24! Four seats were available. I grabbed one. So my message is twofold: pay the extra couple of dollars for flexibility, AND if you're deterred by expensive tickets on a particular day, keep checking. It can change on a dime!
