Lansdale Septa Station

Not much going on at this station. Its a good access point to Philly and walking distant from many lansdale shops. Attached to the station is a sanwhich shop. The sanwhich menu is extensive but they are closed most times I catch the train. Overall, this is a better train station then the other closest two.

Same as it ever was.
That’s the kind of the feeling that I get every time I catch a train at this station as I’ve been doing it since 198???, a very long time. Sure over the years things have been fixed up, upgraded and improved but at the core it’s still the same old, now, 113 year old building.
The future looks bright for Lansdale with a new parking structure coming that will increase the amount of available spaces by over 300 to around 900 and Septa is going to replace the area’s traction power system which they inherited from the Pennsylvania Railroad that dates back to the ’30’s.
What this type of investment means is that both SEPTA service and the station are going to be around for many years to come which is something that I look forward to as anytime I need to go to Center City this is my preferred way of doing it.

The Lansdale station is nicely located in the center of town. It has a coffee shop and ticket office, and there’s plenty of seating. Another reviewer mentioned the «Suicide Hotline» signs. These are now at all Septa stations. It’s a good idea. I think he also complained about the parking. I guess he didn’t find the 100+ car lot just past the station. That said, plans are in place for a new 600 car garage and a new, supplemental station at 9^th and Walnut. If the station had a level platform set up, I’d give it 5 stars.

For this particular writer, the Lansdale Septa Station is located in a strange land past Philadelphia. On the day I had the «privilege» of using this station as my means back into Philly, it was fog-​ish and gray-​skied. This station (and the tiny tiny parking lot), is sandwiched between the inbound and outbound tracks… as opposed to the more typical logistical setup of having the parking lot a bit separated from from the actual station, with two separate platforms (w/​an underpass) sandwiching the tracks.
The (relatively) bizarre setup, coupled with the dreary weather, and the suicide prevention hotline fliers (for real, creepy)… may have lent themselves to creating an image very akin to «Silent Hill»… but that’s just unfair. Nothing otherworldly or sinister here. Just an oddly set up station, in an obscure town on the other side of Philadelphia, that I happened to visit on an overcast day.
The train came as scheduled, and as one of the first stops (if not the first), getting solo seating is relatively easy. Depending on weather conditions though, your train may get to Philadelphia a few minutes later then advertised on the schedule (safety first, right?).

This was my first time at the Lasndale Train Station. The Station was clean good lighting lot of area for peaple to park and the area was clean. One down side was there was no sigh saying where the train –station is or the just the { Station} i drove past the Station. I lookforward to the next time i go to philly
