Visit PhillyApril 11, 2012You're less than an hour's train ride away from Center City Philadelphia. In the meantime, check out all of the things to do, places to stay and spots to eat in Philadelphia. Read more
The first and last cars on NJT commuter trains are quiet cars. That means take your loud phone calls and conversations to any other cars except those two.Upvoted Mar 10
Nice station to train fan. Please be careful of the crowds transferring from SEPTA regional rail to NJT and back.
Pizza grill plain+Buffalo chicken slices were *really* good...thin crust, good toppings! Way better than the McD option, usually crowded with homeless folks, at the other end of the station.Upvoted Mar 13
Kate RonkainenJune 2, 2013The Wallenberg exit is where the main passenger pick up area is. Walnut is a bit sketch but that's where cabs are.
The pizza grill is a viable option if you have time transferring and you're hungry- Easy connection between NJ Transit and SEPTA trains. If you want the River Line you need to go outside and cross the road.
Dan MackJune 15, 2010Walk across the street and check out the weird scale houses (with Buddha inside) and sculptures in front of that one building. Also, walk around in the graveyard. It's really pretty.
Hannah K.May 23, 2013Definitely grab an iced coffee sit near the Dunkin Donuts in the waiting area. Some sketchy lurkers tend to hang towards the entrances and its a bit humid indoors.
Walt WalkerDecember 4, 2013If you have an active SEPTA transit pass (weekly or monthly), the regional SEPTA ride from Trenton to Philly is free on weekends!
Amy KeefeDecember 20, 2011Come here a lot? In the machines for NJT, swipe the credit/debit card you normally use. Your recent trips will appear saving time for you to catch that train!!!!
Protip: Drink up; the consumption of alcoholic beverages is permitted on all NJ Transit trains! Open container? Not a problem!
Creepers about after 8pm, beware eye contact. Nice police presence though so don't worry.
Teresa TamJanuary 5, 2015Unreliable service between NJ Transit and Septa since Amtrak trains take priority, particularly on Sundays. If you miss your transfer, it's an hour wait for the next train.
With Amtrak's reliable delays, there's always time to enjoy the new offerings at the Trenton Transit Center. Best bet: Pizza Grille. Good slices and decent sandwiches.
Rajesh SanthanamJanuary 10, 2012If you are looking for food - go to the east end and try the deli there - sandwiches are huge- The store near tracks 4&5 had the best prices on drinks, water, and snacks
If your catching SEPTA to Philly buy a ticket from the machine. It's MUCH cheaper!!
Completely redone station! Easy to navigate...$15.50 gets you a one way ticket to NYC and if you grab an express train...the trip is only an hour! 1& 1/2 on a local isn't bad either...cya later Philly
- On a cold day, hang out in the vestibule near the exit for the RiverLine. Super toasty--just don't block people who are entering/exiting!
If you're ever in a rush for NJT, there are sales kiosks on the tracks too - most people wait in line at the front entrances.
You BETTER spend money and stamp that $1.50 Riverline ticket or the Sky Blue Shirts will get you, NO EXCEPTIONS! Those fare enforcement officers get excited when they catch people without tickets.
Jason KonenNovember 6, 2014Friendly employees warned us from spending too much time on the Walnut exit. Not safe.
Paul WickerDecember 17, 2011If u are coming from 1N and want to park make a right at the light and left at the next light. Don't go strait in the direction of the drop off point.
Dollar bag of popcorn? Can't beat it. Forget McDs and Dunkin! Best snack in the building.
Try and use the bathrooms on the end where the pizza place is.....there's usually no one there.
ISEPTAPHILLYDecember 31, 2013Ringing in 2014 in Times Square? SEPTA trains will depart from Trenton (passengers can take early-morning NJT trains from New York to Trenton) at 3:30am, 5am & 6am.
Caner GözSeptember 12, 2011If you live in PA and you wanna go to NY this is the neariest train station to Penn Station you can go.- Pretzels and a soda, from the $1 snack shop, is a pretty cheap snack for a long train rideUpvoted Feb 16
Bring extra money and cigarettes for the bums hanging around.
Jeff EspositoSeptember 27, 2014Don't stop at Dunkin Donuts, keep walking to pizza-grill for great food.
New cell phone charging stations have been installed throughout the station. No more having to sit on the floor. But keep an eye on it or someone might run off with it.
Super sketchy at most times of of day that aren’t commuter hours. Transit cops don’t seem to care.
Manish GujjarAugust 19, 2015First day...don't know anything..!! Travelling alone 100miles to reach my college.....Njtransit
Buy something from the McD's and use their bathroom. You'll have to ask someone to unlock it, but they are clean.
The pizza place here is surprisingly good! Grab a slice if your connection doesn't line up exactly.- I guess a 'Modified Schedule' for the Riverline means the train can leave and arrives whenever the hell it feels like it, smh!
Hamilton is the second stop in to my and twain is already crowded
Rome MajorxxxMarch 31, 2013Next Time When the Train leaves at a certain Time !! Be on time cause I was stuck at this station for 4 Hrs SMH ..
