Technical info:
- Daylesford is part of the "Paoli/Thorndale Line" (formerly the R5, prior to 2010).
- Located in Zone 3, for ticket price calculation.
- Daylesford is a quirky station. It is small and lightly-traveled compared to its neighboring stops.
- Unlike most SEPTA stations, you are much more likely to find an available parking space at the Daylesford station. (They are not a stop for Express trains.)
- There is a shelter but no office here. You have to buy tickets on the train, or at another station.
- This line connects at 30th Street Station, to access Amtrak, and other regional rail lines. It also stops at other center city stations, to connect with regional rail and subway lines. This line does not go directly to the airport. You are better off getting a taxi or private car for the time it would take to make connections for the airport.
Practical Info:
- This station is surrounded by residential zoning, so if you are trying to get to a business, pick another stop.
- This station is easy to miss driving down 30, unless you know where you're going. Cars move more quickly on this stretch of 30 because it's residential and there is no business in-and-out traffic to slow things down, nor any lookie-loo at stores or anything. Also, lights are spread out a lot more on this stretch which makes people speed.
- Check online maps programs for landmarks, so you don't pass it. read more
