I tend to agree with the AC line route. PATCO speedline is not that good if you are not along that route. I used to take the woodcrest line.. It could be a PITA to get to and from woodcrest station at times. I ended up picking the train from westmont or collingswood instead. Sometimes I feel brave and park at the Ferry Ave station.

Thanks for your input.

It's not hard but it's not worth it. You wouldn't be saving any time (or money)
