There is also a lot across from the church where you can park for free. On the side that goes to Center City, there is only a monthly permit lot. There is a small area that is warm and available for waiting when it gets cold. The ticket office is open from 5:30 AM to 11:30 AM during the week and manned by Joe, a kind old man who is very helpful in answering all your train and parking questions. Would be great if they opened a starbucks or something here too.

The center has a pair of fare kiosks. It also offers some cover from the weather. Beyond that, it isn't much more than a larger bus stop. Load up your KEY card and take a ride...

If you want to pay cash make sure you use the correct machine one of them is cards only and the other one is cash or card.

We traveled from PHL airport to Warminster upon arrival, rode to 30th Street station (from Warminster) to visit the Mutter Museum, took Septa to Fern Rock then the Broadway subway to the stadium for an Eagles Game (GO BIRDS!) and finally Warminster back to PHL to fly home. Each ride was SPECTACULAR! Friendly and knowledgeable conductors, clean cars, and a smooth (cost effective) ride. It was extremely easy, safe and an enjoyable experience all around! Thank you Septa and staff!!

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?

I often stop to visit with my oldest friend -- we were in high school together, she as a teacher (no, all wholesome, nothing risque). For that matter, I enjoy the city in general. It is great in its own right, overlooked because it is between the financial capitol and the political capitol of the nation, but it has museums (including the Mutter and the Rosenbach and now the Barnes), sports, music, and fine dining. The whole station is undergoing a multi year renovation. I assume they will upgrade the lounge as at Moynihan to the north, or perhaps they will rip out the benches as at Union Station to the south. The space is very long. You can easily find privacy to work or nap; I have never seen it crowded. There are two bonus features worth mentioning. The first is the conference room. You can reserve it for free. I have seen solo workers camped out, with equipment and papers spread out on the table. The second is the elevator system. They announce the trains. You can ride down to the platform, bypassing any need to line up. I regard 30th Street Station as another reason to like Philadelphia. The lounge is part of that.
