#Nj transit train nyc to philadelphia trial
In June 2006, the board of New Jersey Transit accepted a plan for an express service between Atlantic City, New Jersey and Pennsylvania Station in Midtown Manhattan, for a three-year trial initially slated to begin in 2007 (Newark Penn was not initially intended as a. Atlantic City Rail Line trains operate between Atlantic City, NJ and Philadelphia 30th Street Station, with connections to River LINE to Camden and Trenton at Pennsauken Transit Center. PATCO + Market Street Subway sounds harder, but you can leave 45 minutes earlier and guarantee getting your Amtrak Train to NYC. With the success of NJT's commuter service to Atlantic City, talks about direct service to New York were discussed. More possible, but I do not believe that that is how it works.
That 8 minutes is tight unless the second train is late, or you are a very very focused walker (my brother could do it easily I could do it maybe my wife would just refuse :^)ĭoes anyone reading this know if by some miracle the ATL City train stops in the main lower section of 30th St (Google Maps implies that it does not)? If it does that, then it's going up the escalator of once track platform, finding out where the next train leaves from,a going down that escalator (or steps). Then you will be on time for your train to NYC. Take that train (for a very dollars) to 8th & Market Streets (in Philadelphia), go out of the PATCO system (but not to the street), and follow the signs underground to the Westbound Market-Frankford Subway Line, take it four stops to 30th St Station, go into the street and walk over to 30th Street Station (a 2 minute walk). Everyone in South Jersey know where this train line is. Perhaps you can go a slightly different way to 30th St Station: Instead of leaving from Cherry Hill, get someone to get you to a PATCO Train station, like Woodcrest or some other (but get there by 4:15). They are two different railroads, so I would believe that you bought two completely different and unrelated tickets. There is almost no way to do that, and if I did it fast enough, I'd probably trip on the way down all those escalators (or steps) and ramps. I believe that that train pulls in in the upper level of 30th St station and you have to get down the steps to the commuter train mezzanine, walk to the main rotunda station area, find the track the train you want is leaving on, and get down to that. I've found that the car rental is sometimes cheaper than an Amtrak ticket.Yes 8 minutes is a very short time. The gate where Septa drops you off and the gate for the Airport should actually be relatively close to each other.Īnother option would be to rent a car and drop it off at the Philly airport. Whether you take Amtrak or NJ Transit/Septa, just purchase your Airport transfer ticket at a machine and go to the right gate. If you're not pressed for time, it's no big deal since you can just catch the next one.
One word of caution, on the really rare connection, I've actually missed the connection because either the Septa or NJ Transit trains were late so plan accordingly if you're trying to catch a flight. Also, in Trenton (going to Philly), the Septa train is there waiting right ahead of where the NJ Transit train stops so you just have to walk forward. At Penn Station, when you purchase a ticket to Philly, you get tickets for the NJ Transit and Septa portions so you don't have to bother in Trenton. Amtrak will get you there faster and you don't have to transfer in Trenton, but the transfer in Trenton isn't really bad. IMO, taking NJ Transit and Septa to Philly from NYC isn't really bad. Septa or Amtrak are probably your best bet. The Philly bus station is actually across the street from the Gallery mall, and you'd still have to get yourself to 30th Street. I don't know of any commuter bus that goes directly to the airport. Service to Hoboken Terminal with connecting service to NY Penn Station via Secaucus Junction. you'll have to switch trains at 30th Street Station whether you take Septa or Amtrak.
