Westminster Station, Sept, 2026. We husband and I decided to take public transit (train) from our accommodations in Westminster to downtown Denver to avoid city parking and traffic. It wasn't as seamless as expected.
Problem one. Westminster Station has a lot of garage parking -- IF you're driving a vehicle of normal height. We, however, were in a Class B RV (which is of normal length but is tall at 9+ feet. We couldn't fit in the garage, and the on-site parking lots ALL had a 3-hour maximum stay limit. (Most of these spaces were empty, but we couldn't use them because we would need more than three hours to get to the city, walk around, and then come back. We ended up parking on a city street. Problem two. The station did not have any human staff -- to answer questions or to ensure security. Problem three. The trains to Denver were on an hourly schedule. We missed one as we were looking for parking. Similarly, we had a long wait for our return trip because we hadn't checked the schedule ahead of time.
That said, the train was still convenient and reasonably priced, with drop-off near Union Station. Tickets were easy to purchase. We each purchased a one-day pass for $5.50. (Staff checked in both directions that we had indeed purchased tickets). read more
