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. But there is plenty of seating outside and inside and a bathroom as well. If you need a ride there not enough ubers or taxis close by, so call 15 minutes ahead. Three train lines run through here so it is convenient!

There aren't any vagabonds around here and it's usually pretty clean. If you pay for parking I HIGHLY advise you to get here before 645am. Otherwise you might miss your train.

A year ago, this station was in pretty bad disrepair. They've been doing a great deal of work on it…read moreas of late. New fence along the side parking lot to keep pedestrians from walking across the tracks (which was causing for muddy and at times dangerous situations). Now what I'd like to see done: 1. The station was originally built with a canopy that extended the entire length of the platform. I'd like to see this restored at some point. I'd prefer a business or generous donation from the local community vs. the city paying for it as it's not a high priority. If you step off the train towards the end of the platform and it's raining, you're going to get wet. 2. There is a beautiful station here that is open at limited times. It'd be great if some small business could revive this building and make it useful again. The ticket office needs one small window. I'd say a coffee shop, but Chestnut Hill Coffee and Starbucks make that unnecessary. Anyway, something to add to the life of the stop would be great - Chestnut Hill shops stretch almost all the way to the train station so it's definitely possible to have a successful business here. Parking is readily available, although it's easy to get bottlenecked during rush hour. Also, if you are planning on cutting it close, the conductor often only opens up the train door farthest down the platform. I really don't get this, especially if it's raining or hot. But it can be a good trek down the platform if it's a long train. Overall it's a good stop, although it could definitely use some more work to really make it a Chestnut Hill gem.

Very well maintained station with frequent service into center city Philadelphia. There's a…read moresurprisingly large amount of parking here due to the razed turntable and other bygone railroad functions. The station exterior is a finely appointed Reading Railroad stone. Built in 1931 the structure has been holding up pretty well. The interior is comfortable with plenty of amenities. There is a bathroom, benches, water fountain, and a schedule rack. Recently SEPTA crews made their way out to Chestnut Hill East to repair the station canopy roofs, repaint benches, and repaint the platforms. The station looks very sharp. Half hour peak service and hourly off peak service is offered here. Sadly, not much in lines of nearby places to grab coffee or snacks. Germantown Ave. is a 3 minute drive or 5 minute walk, so I'd recommend coming prepared with your own java. However if you'd like to zumba or hit the cycle studio after a train ride from work, there are a few of these businesses directly across the street! Make sure you pay attention to the track your train is pulling off from. There are three separate departure tracks available here. Pro tip: generally the first two cars are the only ones that will be open during off-peak hours, make your way up early so that you can grab a seat!

Olney serves its role as a transportation hub for North Philly. The buses and the Broad Street Line…read moreare convenient and will generally get you where you need to go, until they are late without notice or completely filled. Beyond the transit, going here is generally not by choice. The terminal is frequently littered with empty airplane shooters, vape packages, and Dunkin bags. SEPTA personnel generally don't do much for you if there isn't an opportunity for them to make money, and they're few and far between at this station. Not only is the terminal located in a bad area, Broad & Olney has become notorious as a hotbed for crime independent of the transportation center. Crime is taking the place of business, as the intersection used to be lined with shops and restaurants that have since closed and run for the hills. All in all, if you need to take a bus, try to catch it at another stop before the transportation center. You'll be more likely to get a seat and you'll save yourself the aggravation of being here. If you're taking the BSL, though not much of an upgrade, you may be better off just going up to Fern Rock.

Although the trains generally leave on time, Septa uses the extra space here for equipment storage, so every once and a while the train will be delayed by twenty minutes or more. The regular crew at this location is consistently nice and know what they're doing. For the most part if you smile and try to be friendly, you'll make their day and your commute much nicer. The best part about this station is that it is just steps away from beautiful Chestnut Hill so it is a great regional rail destination.

I like the Chestnut Hill West Station for a number of reasons…read more.. 1. It is the first/last station on the line. You can arrive prior to your train's departure and wait INSIDE of the train instead of waiting out in the elements (although, yes, there is covered outdoor seating as well, if your train has not yet arrived). You also get your choice of seats. 2. It is extremely proximate to two primo coffee shops (Starbucks & Chestnut Hill Coffee Shop). A nice hot cup-o-joe is good company on the quiet ride car. 3. Conductors are generally pretty nice. There is still the oddball who asks you for your pass three times before you get to center city, but for the most part they are pleasant and reasonable. 4. You rarely see an old POS train run on this line anymore. The trains are in decent condition and kept fairly clean. 5. It's a cool old fashioned train station! I took a star away because, face it, it's still SEPTA. They can be quite heartless on the days that you're running late, soaked to the bone, screaming, crying, etc. SEPTA runs on SEPTA's schedule only. This means that whether they are 35 minutes late or 2 minutes early- they are still on time, per SEPTA. Better make it because those doors never reopen for anyone!

This station is within walking distance of my house and it is very quaint, maintained, clean, and feels safe due to it being surrounded by a residential neighborhood.

There's ample parking on street and there's a parking lot with limited spaces depending on time of day. The only thing with parking on street is walking up the hill, but that's good exercise!
