This is a SEPTA run station and there is precious little information about Amtrak, causing new users to question whether Amtrak even stops there. Overall it is designed for every day commuters and the first-timers are always confused. Lighting is good but no restrooms, no heat, no ticketing, not staffed, and by mid-morning most days no available parking. No services of any kind.
