This was always the station I took into the city when I lived in Connecticut. The trains between Southeast and Grand Central run until around 2 in the morning, which is useful if you're going into the city for a night out but not staying over. The huge parking lot is a double-edged sword: you'll always find parking, but if the only parking available is at the very far end, you'll have to frantically run about half a mile in order to not miss your train. They offer free parking on weekends & holidays, so that's always nice. read more

This is your normal metronorth station. Nothing to write home about. If you are going further to CT area you will need to board a bus here to take you there. I was not at this station for long and did not get to really explore it. Not sure if there was a little area/building to wait inside. read more

Southeast Station provides ample parking but no other amenities. If you park in the pay by the day lot, the walk is about 1/3 of a mile from the parking area to the station (I tracked it on my Garmin watch). The parking rate is $4 for the day. Easy trip from SE station to Grand Central. Took about 90 minutes each way. Tip: even if you're just going to use the train one time, download the MTA eTix app. It's a good app and easy to use. Links to ApplePay too. read more

This station has a large parking lot but that's about it. Their is no one around at night, the Parking lot is lit but it's deserted. Their are no restrooms or security patrolling the area. I'd advise not to take the elevator it either breaks and you will be trapped or its very dirty. read more

Minus 1 star for the gargantuan parking lot...because it sucks to hike across that at midnight when you've been in the city all day. However if you are considering Danbury branch service, drive 15 more minutes and go here. Better service, a round trip is about 80 minutes shorter for only $2 more. And for the love of God, buy your ticket here, don't be the idiot paying $8 more and paying on the train. Free parking on the weekend. Bathrooms would be nice, but otherwise nothing fancy, but who really cares? Personally, I prefer Brewster station, but more often than not the parking is lacking so I end up coming to Brewster North *ahem* Southeast. read more

If you're going to NYC for the day, the best place to catch the train for those in the Greater Danbury area is at the Southeast Train Station. While Danbury and Bethel have their own stations, it is just more of a hassle to take the New Haven line due to having to transfer in Stamford. If you drive a mere 15-20 minutes over the state line into NY, you can hop on at Southeast and ride direct into Grand Central without having to transfer. The station, itself, is barebones. The parking lot is long and you may end up parking close to 1/4 mile away from the entrance thanks to its popularity. This is not a station that I would use if I am accompanied by someone in a wheelchair or who has trouble going up and down stairs. As you must ascend a steep flight to buy your ticket and then descend down a second set of stairs to the platform. Do not wait and buy your ticket on the train. Buy it while you are awaiting the train's arrival. While you can buy it on the train, it's almost 7 to 8 dollars more expensive on the train than at the station. There is nothing by means of food or drink at this station either. Try to grab a coffee at the Dunkin Donuts just down the street if you have time. read more

Not much else to say except that it's been my transfer between Wassaic and New York City for a good 18 years (!!!), and it does the trick, with the connecting train in either direction either there or mere minutes away. When you get to Southeast, you're roughly 40 minutes from Wassaic an about an hour and fifteen minutes from the Harlem 125th Street MetroNorth station. One time, many moons ago, I when I still lived in Connecticut, I drove and parked there; the parking lot is very vast. In the day, it didn't really matter, but at night, it's a little freaky to walk to the far end alone. Fun note: If you walk up the stairs between the platform and the parking lot, you can find some vending machines. If you have a few minutes to kill and need a snack, go and get it! read more

Southeast has a lot of non-permit parking (for a fee). Parking is free on weekends in any spot (permit or non-permit). There is handicap parking as well (same rules apply for weekdays and weekends). There is an elevator for handicap/elderly/small children). Heated structure to wait in on cold days. Trains are pretty much on time. read more

Parked here for a vacation trip into NYC after driving from Maine. Came in on a Sunday and the next day was President's Day so we got 2 free days of parking. Parking lot is very long but to be able to park so inexpensively and have a no-hassle trip in/out of the city it was a small inconvenience. We bought tickets and a metrocard from the kiosk. We have friends who live nearby in CT and they recommended this station. 4 stars only because there are no restroom facilities. read more

Southeast, or Brester North, as some folks call it is popular with CT commuters and it is tough to get a parking pass for the right side of the parking area. I waited 2 years for mine and I live in Carmel, NY-a 10 minute hop on I84. It is a long haul for those in the left hand pay-for-parking area. There are metered spaces along the tracks in the latter half of the right hand parking area, but those are gone early in the AM. Handicap parking is usually gone by 8am and the station could use a few more spaces. The SE station IS accessible for handicapped or physically impaired people, as there is an elevator BEHIND the stairs going up to the ticket machine area and another elevator opposite the down staircase which brings you down to the platform, where the first car going toward NY stops.. Granted, one or the other may sometimes be out of order. If it is, the elevator at Croton Falls is usually working (however, those without parking passes may be out of luck to find parking there as there are only about 60 pay-for-parking slots and they are usually gone by 8am the latest). The pay-for-parking area is a good walk to the track area-uphill-so be mindful of that. There may be some handicap parking at the track area, but call first. You WILL get a ticket from North Salem police if you are parked illegally. There is a coffee truck called Anastasia's at Southeast usually for rush hours, starting at 4 am (say Hi to Peter!), and he carries bagels, muffins, rolls as well as coffee, tea and juices. He does carry specialty teas and decaf too! If Peter is not there, stop at the Dunkin Donuts in the right section of the mall (Applebee's side) on your way to the station. Hope this info helps those looking for some handicap access. As always, calling ahead to check access status is best. read more

It's less than 90 minutes from Grand Central to Brewster and it's generally a lovely ride. A lot of people get off the train at White Plains and then by Bedford Hills, it's fairly empty. The station at Brewster is adorable and looks like it could be in a Hallmark movie. There is limited parking, but if you're just being picked up, it's easy enough for someone to grab a spot and wait (or just circle around until you come out). I like the Brewster station. Note: you need to be in one of the front four or six cars to exit at this station, so don't get on at the back of the train.

The taxi charge 30-45 dollars to take you someone, especially if you live in Danbury. There is not enough shuttle buses at the train station. A bathroom would be nice. Children, elderly, pregnant women do take the train now a day.

We used them again today hoping to give them the benefit of the doubt, and the fare ended up being higher than what had originally been communicated. When my BP questioned the additional cost, the response from the driver was very rude and inappropriate, essentially telling her that if she didn't like it, she could use another company. I followed up directly with the company afterward and spoke with the driver, who identified himself as the owner. When I explained the situation and said I intended to raise a complaint, he was dismissive and indicated that he did not care. He said go file a complaint and then i will file a complaint on you for filing a complaint on me. Seemed very unprofessional. Avoid using them at all costs!!!
