Hi guys, I have a quick question about my upcoming trip to Philly, and I couldn't think of a better place to ask my (probably quite silly)
question(s)....
I am coming from NJ next Saturday from Metuchen station, via NJT (obviously)......When I reach Trenton, does my train automatically become a SEPTA train to Market East Station, giving me a one train direct trip into center city? My next question is, when I detrain from the R7 train at Market East, I know I have to get onto the Broad Street Line subway to complete my trip to the Spectrum....What I can't tell is if I need to "go to the surface" and walk a few blocks to the Broad Street line station, or is it in the same complex? I went to SEPTA's site, but having NEVER used the system, I'd like to avoid as many surprises/delays as possible, considering I will be leaving the city later that night. The route maps are clear enough, but I wanted to get an "expert" opinion on these few transfer points along the way to make sure that I am not assuming I have it all "figured out"!
Thanks in advance,
