Coming
by Train, Plane, or Bus?
If
you are NOT coming by car, then your path
should probably lead you to the Downingtown
train station, (the closest stop to the
retreat center). We can come by car to
pick you up there. PLEASE
let us know in advance when you plan to
arrive; and then call us toll-free at
1-866-424-8401 from the
station when you arrive.
Whether
arriving by train, plane, or bus, here's
how to get to the Downingtown station:
Train:
You can take an Amtrak
train to Philadelphia's main station,
30th Street Station,
and from there catch a regional SEPTA
train to the Downingtown
train station (R5 direction THORNDALE).
(Some Amtrak
trains will actually make a stop at the
Downingtown station, saving you time and
money on the local train.) From 30th Street
Station take the R5 Septa train. Make
sure you take the R5 train the right direction--towards
Thorndale! The trip takes about an hour.
Check the SEPTA
Web site for schedule and fare information.
Plane:
If we know well in advance, we may be
able to coordinate transport for you directly
from the airport to the retreat center.
Otherwise you will need to either arrange
for a taxi or limo to get you there (expensive)
or take regional rail (the cheapest option).
For regional rail from the Philadelphia
International Airport, take the airport
SEPTA
train to 30th Street Station, Philadelphia's
main train station (cost: $5). From there
you can follow the directions above for
the train.
Bus:
If you are coming by bus to the
main Philadelphia terminal you are only
a couple of blocks from the Blue line
subway train (the EL). Take it in the
direction of 69th street, but get off
at the 30th Street Station exit. From
30th Street Station, follow the train
directions above. You can also catch a
cab to 30th St. Station. It's not far.
