Newark

When will this "New Station" ever open? If you are traveling with heavy luggage, small children, mobility issues, or are handicapped, this is not the station stop for you. At this moment it is a nightmare for anyone with these above-mentioned situations.

Why are they investing this much building a train starting when there was a perfectly usable historic train station on the other side of the tracks? It’s really strange to have UD cops observe everyone getting on and off the train. They are friendly and polite but it just feels like a very contorted investment of public resources. If the state is going to invest this much into something like this then there need to be more trains from Amtrak, SEPTA and add MARC so we can use it to get to Baltimore.

Claims to welcome bikes on all peak trains but make no space for you to put them. The only option is the handicap space. Also the non peak trains are accordingly smaller making it more difficult to find the empty seats necessary for a bike. Just clear a space for them.

There is literally no one here to help you. The building was abandoned and there were no signs telling you if you were on the right side of the tracks or not. Definitely worth going to a different train station.

For Amtrak Station "Newark, DE" (NRK), there is ample free parking is on the South Side of Rt 896 (South College Ave). For Septa all trains are boarded on the South Side, but Amtrack uses both North and South sides of the tracks. If one can not climb stairs, this likely would not be a good Amtrak station. Parking and South Side are well lit and there was a staff person on-site. For Amtrak North Bound (toward NY)Trains are loaded on the south side. For Amtrak South Bound (toward DC) trains are boarded on the North Side but there is no large sign to tell you this. One needs to walk to the south side area (big green sign says North Bound Trains), cross under 896 and take stairs up to pedestrian bridge (small sign telling you to do so) , then walk across tracks on pedestrian bridge, and then descend stairs to a semi-illuminated area with no seating. Cover is under the old Historic Train Station (now a museum). Some people may not feel comfortable waiting near the tracks, so might suggest staying on the pedestrian bridge until train is scheduled to arrive. Amtrak Boarding/departing was only from the Café Car. Something to keep in mind when finding a seat if Newark, DE is your destination. Only a couple of Amtrak trains stop at Newark, DE each day so perhaps not a good choice if you need might have a flexible schedule. Overall liked using the Newark Amtrak station.

I just wish trains will stop by Newark station at all times instead of stopping in Wilmington station and have people use the 59 dart bus. * station is nice with a lot of free Parkings.

Its just a paved platfrom under a overpass, giving three stars since there is alot of construction going on so it seems like they are trying to imporve the place

Good. But Minus 1 star for some people confusing Newark Penn Station with this station.

Needs more train activity.
