Question Septa commute time from Lansdale & Horsham

I was told the commute time on SEPTA from Horsham to Center City would be 15 minutes each way. Does that sound right for a morning and afternoon commute? I think I'd need to use the Willow Grove Station?

What would the commute time be from Lansdale to Center City if I got a job in Center City that started around 8:30 or 9AM and anded at 5PM?

Thanks so much.

You can go to septa.org and check out schedules for the R5.

A non-express train from Lansdale is about 50 minutes to Center City. An express is maybe 30-35. From the Horsham are (I didn't even know there was a Horsham station) it's probably about 35-40 minutes or so, without checking.

Thank you.
Re: Horsham, I think I'd have to drive to Willow Grove and park there to take the SEPTA...

You could also catch the R5 down around the Ambler through Glenside area. Willow Grove is closer, but the R5 runs a lot more trains.

Also, there's no chance the commute would take you any less than 30-40 minutes each way.
